A modifier in CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) is a two-digit code added to a procedure or service code to provide additional information about the service performed. Modifiers indicate factors such as whether a procedure was altered in some way, whether it was bilateral, or if it was performed on a specific anatomical site. They help ensure accurate billing and documentation by clarifying the circumstances surrounding the procedure or service. Proper use of modifiers can affect reimbursement and compliance with medical coding standards.
