Good morning everyone,
Quick question, if you have 10 physicians from the same speciality/same group who are reading EKGs for the hospital and a patient has 3 EKGs done on the same day and 3 different doctors from this same group read each EKG, would you use a modifier -76 to mean several EKGs have been read by the same group of physicians or would you use modifier -77 to mean each of the (three) physicians from the same group read an EKG.
I've been using modifier -76 since the physicians are from the same group and same speciality. Is this correct?
Thank you for your guidance.
