Coding第 27 / 100 题
In CPT, the '-51' modifier is generally appended to indicate:
a.Multiple procedures performed at the same session by the same provider
b.A telehealth service
c.A repeat clinical laboratory test
d.That the patient is deceased
解析
Modifier 51 signals that more than one procedure was performed during the same encounter, which may trigger multiple-procedure payment reductions on the lesser services. It is not appended to add-on codes or to codes designated as modifier-51 exempt. Some payers apply the reduction automatically rather than requiring the modifier.
