Exam AAPC-CPC Topic 1 Question 92 Discussion

Actual exam question for Medical Tests's AAPC-CPC exam
Question #: 92
Topic #: 1
An obstetrical patient carrying twins is seen. The physician performs a fetal non stress test on each fetus. How should the CPT code(s) be reported?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

Modifier 76 is used to identify a repeated procedure, but the test was performed on a separate fetus. Modifier 22 indicates increased procedural services: however, the services were not increased. Rather, a separate, identifiable test was rendered, and the modifier 59 would therefore apply to the second fetal nonstress test.
