Each procedure code is expected to have a certain degree of length, risk, and complexity. When the service offered is more complicated, complex, difficult or takes significantly longer than usual, add modifier 22 to the procedure code
• When the use of modifier 22 is permissible, an additional fee may be permitted.
• Other payment concerns may not apply to every paid code. Once the paperwork submitted states the exceptional nature of service provided, will extra reimbursement be regarded?
• Modifier 22 always necessitates a code review.
• Modifier 22 should not be appended to unlisted codes.
