Modifier 59 is a CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code used to indicate that a procedure or service was distinct or independent from other services performed on the same day. It is applied to help distinguish between different procedures that may otherwise be considered bundled together. This modifier is essential for ensuring proper reimbursement by clarifying that the procedures were not duplicates or part of a single comprehensive service. However, it should be used judiciously to avoid claim denials or audits.
