Modifier 77 is used to indicate that the same procedure was performed on a patient, but the service was done by a different physician than the first procedure.  Use this modifier on the same day or during the global period of the first service.

Use the same CPT® code.

The procedure report should show the medical necessity for the repeat procedure.
