Good afternoon all,
Having a difference of opinion here in the office on the correct order when using both modifier 59 and the Q7-Q9 modifier on the same procedure code 11721. I was taught and had the lesson showing that modifiers affecting payment (59) comes before any reporting modifiers (Q7-Q9). Today I've been instructed to use the Q modifier first and the NCCI modifier (59) second. Who's correct?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks in advance,
