I AM AT A LOSS......PT HAD A HERNIA REPAIR 05/03/16. ON 05/27/16 10030 AND 76942 WERE PERFORMED. WHAT MODIFIERS DO I NEED TO USE?

SMcHugh

I agree with you, if it was done for pain control it would be included.

char247

if the 2nd procedure done on 5/27 was related to the 1st procedure done on 5/3, use modifier 78 if it was not related use modifier 79. also you can not use procedure 76942 with 10030.

As per CPT Do not report 10030 in conjunction with 76942. The modifier is 79. 10030-79
