Need some clarification w/modifiers!!!
I have a recurrent ganglion @ the DIP joint of a finger. the patient had 5 days left in global for gang removal @ same location. I want to use modifier 76 but have conflicting info that it is to be used for procedures done the same day. Modifier 78, should I consider this complication? Modifier 79???
Any info or links, documentation would be most helpful.
