Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modifier 66 is used when two or more physicians work together to perform a procedure as primary surgeons, and each surgeon would submit the same code with the 66 modifier added. In this case, Dr. Langer was part of a surgical team performing a heart transplant, and modifier 66 would be appropriate to indicate that multiple surgeons were involved.
