It is essential to understand the proper modifier descriptions and how to apply them correctly to medical claims. When providers inappropriately use modifiers, claims will deny and the risk of an audit will increase, sometimes even patient care may be affected. A CPT modifier may help describe why a procedure was medically necessary and the location on the body where the procedure was performed. It could also help to identify whether the service was performed in person or remotely, or whether it was a planned or unplanned return to the operating room. The goal of this 60 minutes webinar is to explain the meaning of modifiers, describe in detail the most common ones, when to use them and why it is important to understand how to properly use them in compliance with rules and regulations.
