In healthcare, a modifier is a two-digit code added to a procedure or service code to provide additional information about the service performed. Modifiers clarify circumstances such as whether a service was altered, provided in a specific context, or if multiple procedures were performed simultaneously. They help ensure accurate billing and reimbursement by indicating variations in the procedure that might affect payment. Proper use of modifiers enhances the clarity of medical claims and supports compliance with billing regulations.
