A clear understanding of surgery modifiers and guidelines will get the surgeon the reimbursements that he deserves, the appropriate modifiers related to Multiple Procedures, Distinct Procedural Service, Decision for Surgery, Outpatient Physical.

Therapy etc will ensure that the surgeon is assured of full reimbursements.
Specialty Coders must find time to attend workshops, in which experts share their knowledge of surgery modifiers. These workshops greatly enhance the knowledge base of the specialty coder.
