Modifier 78
On line i found a neurosurgery coding alert 2008: Volume 9,number10, that explains if you answer yes to these 3 questions you can apply modifier 78;
#1 does procedure gall within a global?
#2 is the procdure'related' to initial surgery?
#3 is there a return to or?
I hope this may help you.
