Hi.
Looking for advice on the use of Modifier 26. It seems that most of the information I can find, everyone refers to this as the "interpretation" modifier. I have a physician that does interventional radiology (nephrology) procedures in the hospital setting, so he is using their equipment, but HE is perfoming the arteriogram, angiograms, fluoroscopies etc, not a tech or radiologist. He is properly documenting the procedures, and doesn't seem fair that his reimbursement is reduced to the extent that the 26 modifier does.
All help is sincerely appreciated!
