A patient was admitted for an emergency c-section and the procedure was performed by 2 surgeons (provider on staff and the physician of record) . There was also an assistant surgeon who will append mod -80 to his claim for the c-section portion only. The physician on staff will also bill and append mod -62 for the c-section portion only. How would the physician of record bill in this situation? Is it correct to bill the global code 59510 with a mod 62; or should the global package be broken out into an antepartum portion and the c-section. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
