Hello to everyone,
I have a claim on post op stent procedure & angioplasty, and after 2 weeks the same Doctor performed another stent procedure & angioplasty on the same limb but different artery/vascular family, do i need to put modifier 79 on the second visit to all the procedures and imaging done by the same physician on the postoperative period?
or do i need to have a different modifier? I do need an opinion from anyone, i do appreciate all the help.Thank You![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
