I work for an orthopedic group and we often do injections during the global period. I have been using modifier 79 because it is unrelated to the procedure done during the global. Does anyone else agree that this correct? To me, 78 would be used if the patient is having a complication from the surgery. I know we can also use the 58 but most of the time the injection is not planned. Thanks for the insight.
