I have 2 questions regarding this modifier...
1. if there are 9 scheduled procedures and the surgery is stopped after anesthesia for extenuating circumstances DO ALL 9 CPT CODES ARE BILLED WITH MODIFIER -53 OR JUST THE PRIMARY CPT CODE?
2. If an assist surgeon is required for the above surgery, could I submit a claim for all 9 CPT CODES FOR THR ASSISTANT SURGEON?
I couldn't fine any information on CMS or AMA...HELP!!!!
