I am getting ready for my exam and have been taking practice exams one question had the right code with modifiers in different orders so I looked in the modifiers appendix and it states that physical status modifiers come before other appropriate modifiers, so I answered it with the physical status modifier first and got it wrong. The rational for the test had nothing about why they coded it the way they did so I did some research and all I can find is that physical status modifiers come after anesthesia modifiers (AA, AD, QK, QX, QY, QZ) so my question is:
Do physical status modifiers come after other HCPCS modifiers? and, Do any other CPT modifiers ever come before the physical status modifiers? How do I know what modifier comes first in other situations?
