For CPT code 94640 (inhalation treatment for asthma or COPD), you typically do not need a modifier unless there are specific circumstances requiring one. For J7611 (albuterol sulfate for inhalation), you may use modifier -59 to indicate a distinct procedural service if it is administered separately from other services. Always refer to current payer guidelines for specific modifier requirements.
CPT code 12002.1 refers to the repair of a superficial wound. Common modifiers that may be used with this code include modifier 50 for bilateral procedures, modifier 51 for multiple procedures, and modifier 59 for distinct procedural service. The choice of modifier depends on the specific circumstances of the procedure performed. Always consult the latest coding guidelines to ensure proper application.
Modifier 59 can be used with CPT codes 87040 and 87070 when there is a need to indicate that the two procedures were performed separately and are not considered bundled services. However, it's essential to ensure that the use of modifier 59 is justified based on the clinical scenario and documentation, as payers may scrutinize its application. Always check the specific payer guidelines for any additional requirements or restrictions regarding modifier usage.
Modifier 59 is used to represent a different session or patient encounter, different procedure or surgery, different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion, or separate injury (or area of injury in extensive injuries) not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day by the same physician. You would not use modifier 59 on an E&M service such as 99396.
CPT codes 72148 (MRI of the spine) and 73721 (MRI of the lower extremity) typically require the use of modifier 59 when performed together to indicate that they are distinct procedural services. This modifier helps to clarify that the procedures are separate and not a part of a bundled payment. Always check the specific guidelines or payer policies for additional requirements or recommendations.

This modifier indicates that the repeat test was necessary and performed on a different specimen than the original. Other modifiers may apply depending on specific circumstances, such as -59 for distinct procedural services. Always check specific payer guidelines for appropriate modifier usage.
