Sequencing of modifiers How can that be if the modifiers used were accurate? There is an order to reporting modifiers and there are three categories that modifier usage fall under: 1. Pricing Pricing modifiers are always sequenced “before” payment modifiers and/or location modifiers. The only exception to this rule is when a global surgery package is involved. For example, you would code modifier 58 first and modifier 82 second in a global surgery. A few examples of pricing modifiers are: 22, 26, 50, 52, 53, 62, 80, and P1-P6. 2. Payment Payment modifiers alert the insurance carrier that there is a special situation within the claim Some examples of payment modifiers would be: 24, 25, 51, 57, 58, 59, 76, and 78. 3. Location Examples of location modifiers are: E1-E4, FA, F1-F9, LC, LD, LT, RT, RC, TA, and T1-T9. The general order of sequencing modifiers is ( 1) pricing (2) payment (3) location. Location modifiers, in all coding situations, are coded “last”. If you code
