Wiki Assist at Surgery Modifer Order

[cwilson3333]

I am unsure of the correct modifier position on procedure 29826, whether the AS should be first position, or 59 is correct ? This is a PA assisting on the surgery.

CPT 23412-AS-LT
CPT 29823-AS-LT
CPT 29826-59-AS-LT

Appreciate any and all responses,
CW

Guru, how do you locate the practice exam A? I purchased it and can't start cause I'm not sure where it is.

the AS modifier would always go first. However, the 29826 is an add-on code and should not have any modifiers
