Modifier 78 - Part 2
from Modifier Mondays: a KZA Podcast Hosted by KZA KAST
In Part 2 of our Modifier 78 series, KZA Coding Expert Christine Banks takes a deeper dive into the documentation requirements that support an unplanned return to the operating room during the global period. Christine explains the four key elements every operative note should include, discusses the importance of complication-specific diagnosis coding, and walks through real-world examples from general surgery, orthopedics, and ophthalmology. This episode provides practical guidance to help ensure Modifier 78 claims are properly documented, appropriately reimbursed, and able to withstand payer scrutiny.
