Just looking for clarification on modifier 33 as I'm hearing and reading contradicting things.
If a patient [with commercial insurance] comes in for a screening/surveillance should modifier 33 be appended or no?

above states append modifier 33 to indicate preventative services [which is what I thought], but I'm now being told otherwise.
