I would like to clarify on how and when to use these two modifiers, modifier 59 & modifier 91.
Can someone please advise if mod -59 or -91 should be use on CPT 82784 - Gammaglobulin (immunoglobulin); if we have results for IgA, IgG & IgM, is this to bill with modifier 59 or 91? Does this CPT calls for "Distinct Procedural Service?"
How about CPT 83883 x2 - Nephelometry, each analyte, does this call for mod -59 or -91?
88271 x2 - Molecular cytogenetics; DNA probe, each; Mod -59 or -91?
How about for allergy testing, 86003 (Allergen specific IgE)
86003 - Egg
86003 - Milk
86003 - Nut
Is this mod -59 or 91? The results gives a description or different results.
How about if a lab panel is performed and one of the test within the panel is repeated, is this a modifier -91? If done on the same day? How about if a different physician order the test but the same facility and on the same day?
Ex:
80048 - Basic Metabolic Panel
82565 - Creatinine
Please advise.
