A gentleman came in on Friday with a broken bone. The doctor made the decision he needed emergency surgery. On the E/M code we added Modifier 57. He went to surgery on Saturday for a Radius Open Reduction and Fixation. Can I bill the surgery with Modifier TV? Will it be paid more for weekend emergency surgery? Can anyone explain this modifier more or if I am using it correctly, or if there is something I am missing for a weekend emergency surgery? Please Help. TY
