Item description from seller

Paperback. Modifier 25 and modifier 59 are audit priority targets year after year. Not because they are complicated - but because the assertion they make to the payer is so often unsupported by the documentation behind it. Every modifier you append to a claim is a legal assertion. That a specific clinical circumstance occurred. That it was documented. That the medical record supports it. When that assertion is accurate, modifiers protect revenue. When it is not, they become the evidence of fraud. This handbook closes that gap. What's Inside: 20 chapters covering every major modifier category - from modifier 25 and the X modifiers through global surgery periods, bilateral procedures, co-surgery, telehealth, anesthesia, and audit defense. A complete A-Z modifier quick-reference covering 50+ CPT and HCPCS modifiers, each with audit risk rating, documentation requirements, and the most important dos and don'ts. Specialty-specific modifier guides for primary care, surgery, radiology, emergency medicine, orthopedics, and behavioral health. The Modifier 25 vs. Modifier 59 field guide with 30 applied clinical billing examples - when each is appropriate, when it is not, and what the documentation must show. A step-by-step NCCI edit navigation framework - how to read the tables, what modifier indicator 0 and 1 mean, and when you can and cannot override bundling. Three documentation templates for the highest-risk modifiers: 25, 22, and 59/XS. A modifier audit defense framework including a step-by-step RAC and MAC audit response guide. Revenue impact analysis showing what modifier errors actually cost at the practice level. 75 key modifier facts. 25 self-test questions with full explanations. Advanced audit scenarios with documentation-present and documentation-absent outcomes. A modifier compliance calendar with annual, quarterly, and monthly tasks. Appendices covering audit checklists, payer-specific modifier reference templates, denial reason code reference, and a complete billing glossary. This is an operational reference for coders, billers, practice managers, compliance officers, and auditors who work with modifiers daily and need a single authoritative source that covers the clinical justification, the documentation standard, the payer rules, and the audit defense framework - all in one place. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the AMA or AAPC. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
