modifier -51
Modifier P2 is a code used in the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) system to indicate a patient's physical status during anesthesia. Specifically, it designates a patient with mild systemic disease, which may include conditions like controlled hypertension or diabetes. This modifier helps anesthesiologists assess risk factors and tailor their approach to anesthesia care for each patient. It is part of a broader classification system that ranges from P1 (healthy) to P6 (declared brain-dead).
The modifier that would be used to code a patient with a mild systemic disease is "CR" (catastrophic illness or injury).

This helps clarify the situation for billing and reporting purposes.
