Yes, add-on codes are generally exempt from modifier -15, which indicates a "qualifying circumstance" for anesthesia services, specifically for the presence of a physical status modifier. Since add-on codes are intended to represent additional services provided in conjunction with a primary procedure, they do not require the use of modifier -15. However, it's essential to verify specific coding guidelines and payer policies, as they may vary.
