Pick a scenario from the left
Each scenario walks you to the correct modifier (or combination), the documentation tip that makes it stick, and the audit-risk considerations.

Inappropriate modifier 25 and 59 use is a top OIG audit target and a leading source of post-payment takebacks. Scrubbers can't catch what looks correct on paper but doesn't match the chart.
