Do the TC and 26 modifiers need to be used when the test is split up between 2 different office locations on different days? The 2 locations are in different states but in the same company.
Thanks!

It is for a diagnostic test. 92083 to be exact.

I'm not confident with the parts of ophthalmic tests but I understand this CPT code can represent a unilateral or bilateral exam. So you would not use the 26 and TC modifiers to split the procedure if for example for the patient's sake the two unilateral exams were performed at different office locations.
I am certain that you would bill the 92083 in two separate parts - each separate part with either a 26 or a TC - if the test(s) were performed in one location and the interpretation of the test results were done in a different location.
I hope this input is at least minimally helpful.
