Modifier 57 - Part 2

In Part 2 of our Modifier 57 series, KZA Coding Expert Michelle DelMonico dives into the documentation requirements that make—or break—this modifier. From clearly supporting medical necessity to explicitly documenting the decision for surgery, Michelle walks through what payers are looking for and why vague documentation leads to denials. With real-world examples, this episode helps you build clear, defensible documentation that stands up to audit scrutiny.
