Back my popular demand! Join us at 1 p.m. (Eastern) Wednesday, January 7, to review the big changes coming for modifier -59 in 2015.

CMS is now introducing four new modifiers to be used in place of modifier -59 beginning January 1.
During this program, Jillian Harrington, MHA, CPC, CPC-I, CPC-P, CCS, CCS-P, MHP, will review why modifier -59 has been a frequent audit target, the definitions of the four new modifiers, and how to apply them for 2015.
