Wiki Modifier 76 on Unclassified Drugs

[vpriya@scioms.com]

Hi,

We bill for medical oncology, and use multiple dose forms of chemotherapy drugs to reach the patient's necessary dose. This involves multiple NDC's that we must report separately.Is the 76 modifier appropriate?

Please see the following scenario:
J9999 (1ST NDC# REPORTED) 400mg
J9999-76 (2ND NDC# REPORTED) 200mg

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Priya

No, modifier 76 would not be appropriate for a drug code. Its also not a repeat procedure.
