20985 with 26 modifier?
I should know this, but orthopedics are new to me. Can someone PLEASE explain why I would not attach a "26" modifier to a 20985?? My doctor is charging it with a 27447. I was reasoning that we don’t own the navi equipment therefore "26" modifier, but that doesn’t seem to apply. Whyyyy?
