Modifiers serve a crucial role in informing payors about specific aspects of surgical procedures and, more importantly, they have varied impacts on reimbursement. The use of accurate modifiers can be the key to ensuring a claim is paid promptly, rather than it remaining pending in your Accounts Receivable (AR) awaiting resubmission. It's essential that physician documentation accurately reflects any deviations in a procedure to guide the coder/biller in appending the correct modifier. This webinar provides a detailed explanation of the most common modifiers and demonstrates their accurate application in real-world vascular surgery scenarios.
