I'm a little confused on the correct usage of modifier 54. Is this modifier limited to only procedures with a 90 day global period, or can it be used for procedures with a 10 day global period?
For example, if we had a patient (not our patient) come into the office with a fracure to his/her hand and we repaired it, and applied a cast,but we told the patient to follow-up with his/her PCP, can we append modifier 54 to the fracture code?
This is a non-Medicare, so we do not have to have a request for transfer of care, correct?
Thanks
