This webinar will focus on selected CPT® modifiers that tend to be problematic for coders and claims processing. The instructor will focus on the application of modifier-22 and -52 including commonalities and differences as stated by the AMA as well as supportive citations from the Medicare Claims Processing Manual. The course will also review modifiers-58, -78, and -79 (postoperative period related modifiers) including appropriate use and impacts on claims processing. Case study excerpts will be presented to illustrate modifier concepts to facilitate learning. 

After the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify proper assignment of modifier-22
• Review how modifiers -22 and -52 can affect reimbursement
• Review what services are part of the global surgical package
• Identify when to consider a procedure staged, related or unrelated for accurate modifier assignment
