What is modifier

Medical codes describe health care procedures performed by doctors in their offices or in hospitals. Codes are most often used to bill insurance companies, and there are rules governing which codes may be used in conjunction with each other. Modifiers are sometimes used in addition to medical codes to allow for billing multiple procedures performed on the same service date. It is important to know which modifiers to use for rules compliance and maximum reimbursement.
