What entity publishes a list of insurance payers that require modifier 51 to be submitted/not submitted for multiple procedures ? Are there any? From what I've gathered there seems to be a general concensus NOT to use it. So, if you utilize it when it's NOT required will that generate a further reduction in revenue, or conversely, if you don't use it when it required will that render an improper payment? Take, for example....Aetna. Even after reading their policy on modifiers for multiple surgical procedures, still seems a little murky to me. ANY input is appreciated!
