Modifiers 54, 55, 56 - Part 1

In Part 1 of our Modifiers 54, 55, and 56 series, we break down the fundamentals of splitting the global surgical package, using content prepared by KZA Coding Expert Christine Banks. Learn how these three modifiers distinguish surgical care, postoperative management, and preoperative management when different providers share responsibility for a patient's care. We also explore Medicare's updated transfer-of-care policies, introduce HCPCS code G0559, and explain why understanding who performed which portion of the global package is essential for accurate reimbursement and compliance.
