Assistant Surgeon Modifiers - Part 1

from Modifier Mondays: a KZA Podcast Hosted by KZA KAST

We’re kicking off our four-part series on the Assistant Modifiers with KZA Coding Expert Christine Banks. In this first episode, Christine lays the groundwork by defining the assistant modifiers (80, 81, 82, and AS), explaining when each one applies, and why correct usage matters more than ever. Learn how these modifiers support appropriate reimbursement, reduce compliance risk, and help practices avoid costly denials and audits.
