MMIS RADIOLOGY MODIFIERS LIST
Note: NCCI associated modifiers are recognized for NCCI code pairs/related edits. For additional information please refer to the CMS website: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalCorrectCodInitEd/
-26 Professional Component: Certain procedures are a combination of a physician component and a technical component. When the physician component is reported separately, the service may be identified by adding the modifier -26 to the usual procedure number.
-50 Bilateral Procedures (X-ray): Unless otherwise identified in the listing, when bilateral X-ray examinations are performed at the same time, the service will be identified by adding the modifier -50 to the usual procedure code number. (Reimbursement will not exceed 160% of the maximum State Medical Fee Schedule amount. One claim line is to be billed representing the bilateral procedure. Amount billed should reflect total amount due.)
-76 Repeat Procedure by Same Physician: The physician may need to indicate that a procedure or service was repeated subsequent to the original procedure or service. (When a repeat X-ray examination of the same part and for the same illness is required for reasons other than technical or professional error in the original X-ray, it will be identified by adding modifier -76.) (Reimbursement will not exceed 100% of the maximum State Medical Fee Schedule amount.)
