Modifier 76: Modifier 76 indicates a repeat procedure performed by the same physician. Should only be submitted when the same health care professional repeats a process on the same date of service.
Use of Modifier 76 Recommendations and Guidelines.
When a process or service is repeated by the same physician or other competent health care professional after the following procedure or service, it is referred to as a repeat process or service. When two physicians in the same group with the same specialty operate repeat offerings on the same day, Medicare considers them the same physician. Then, we must append modifier 76 to the subsequent repeat process within the same day.
