Our surgeons are now being required to code all of their work themselves including modifiers and we are auditing them and guiding them in correcting their errors. Since they are required to pick the correct modifier as well as the code, can anyone help me with an easy way to tell them the difference between the 51 and 59 modifiers - and when to use one over the other?
I am having a hard time putting this into a simple way for them as I am always confused too as to which one to use too! I myself have access to programs that give me the CCI edits, however they do not have this access - nor would they probably want to have to use any either!
Thanks for the assistance!
