Learning Path & Courses Information:

This Learning Path will review and discuss CPT Modifiers. The four courses will cover common CPT and HCPCS modifiers, with examples of all. CPT Modifiers are two characters (alpha and/or numeric characters) that indicate that the procedure code has been altered in some way. The modifier does not actually change the definition of code, but it provides additional information about specific situations. Modifiers also enable adherence to specific payer policies, such as the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI); the addition of a particular modifier may affect payment. Modifiers are found in Appendix A of CPT. Level I modifiers are published by AMA, while Level II modifiers (HCPCS) are developed by CMS. This course provides 1.5 approved AAPC CEUs and can be used towards 1.5 AHIMA CEUs | Duration: 1.5 hours.
