MODIFIER 76 AND 77 REPEAT EKG DIFFERENT DAY SAME PHYSICIAN
Date: Feb 21, 2024
Question:
New to Cardio coding. Please advise which modifier to use...
EKG done 12/4/23 then repeated on 12/8/23 by the same doctor. Would it be 93010 for DOS 12/4/23 then 93010- 77 - 1 DOS 12/8/23???
I understand that if repeated on same day then bill first line as 93010 - 1 then second line would be 93010-76 - 1 but I'm not sure about billing for the different DOS.... Please help... Thank you.
