  3. Modifiers explain to insurance payers whether the provider’s services had a technical component, a professional component, or a combination of both. • They specify if more than one physician was involved in rendering a particular service or procedure. If a service was performed in more than one location, it is clearly indicated. • Modifiers also clarify if a service was performed completely or partially, and if an optional extra service was provided, it is clearly indicated.

CPT modifiers are two-character numeric codes. They can, however, be alphanumeric in a few circumstances. They also use a hyphen at the end of the CPT codes. • The American Medical Association has a wealth of CPT coding information, including a large number of accessible codes and complex guidelines for applying modifiers.
