Hello Team,
Could you please explain to me why AAPC quiz has this answer? If the surgeon did only the surgery and not Post op service, then we should bill it with modifier 54 only. But the answer was to bill with -54 and -55? I don't understand the correct answer. Thank you very much for your rational.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
