I just wanted to verify some things before I submitted a charge. Is it correct that when billing with modifier 80, the assistant surgeon gets paid 16% of the allowable and the primary surgeon's reimbursement is not affected? Also is it correct that the assistant surgeon does not have to dictate a separate op report but the primary surgeon has to dictate assisted by .....? Thank you in advance for any and all help.
