Wiki New 2015 modifiers

[seslinger]

Hi, we are wondering if anybody has found any details on the new modifiers besides the explanation of them?

Ex. for separate excision of lesions - would you use the -XS ?

For different colon techniques for polyp removals - would you use the -XS ?

And what does the -XU - Unusual Non-overlapping service mean?

thanks Sheila, CPC

i do cardiology coding and we were told to use the mod xu when charging a cath and a stent..so instead of 93458-59 and 92928-rc it would be 93458-xu and 92928-rc.........which it isnt that unsual for pt to get a stent but it is the best choice from the new 59 modifiers
