What Is a Modifier?

A modifier means that there is a basic code and then they're using this and that it's a number. So maybe you did an eagle hernia repair, but you could buy lateral. That's going to get a qualifier. Some of the other modifiers specifically in surgery are things like an assistant surgeon,. A bunch of little tag ons can happen. And I don't think there's a way to necessarily dictate and know that you're calling out a multiplier.
