Unless, an until the doctor properly documents that the Px took almost several minutes, or there where some complications, critical conditions etc. So you need to provide supporting documents to insurance that: Why modif 22 was used ? </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/cpt-45385-and-mod-22#post-428 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:06:05 +0000 Melanie Cramer 428@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>I have a patient who was found to have quite literally several polyps. It was determined by the doctor that the best course of removal was by snare-technique...</p> <p>Because of the number of polyps removed and that the procedure in itself would take longer than traditional time to complete, would you consider mod 22?</p> <p>Looking for feedback..</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
