Modifier 22 - Part 1

We’re kicking off our four-part series on Modifier 22 with KZA Coding Expert Christine Banks. In this first episode, Christine lays the foundation by defining Modifier 22 (Increased Procedural Services), explaining when it’s appropriate to use, and why it’s critical to apply it carefully. Learn what truly qualifies as “substantially greater work,” how Modifier 22 differs from routine variations in difficulty, and why strong documentation is essential to support increased reimbursement and withstand audit scrutiny.
