modifier 78
Can someone tell me how medicare reimburse the surgeon for a surgery code billed with modifier 78?---patient is within the Global period. The First procedure was performed inpatient and the second procedure was at ASC. I am finding that the second proceure will be paid at 70% of the fee schedule, but not sure if that is correct. Thank you
