Is your practice writing off visits that fall inside a 90-day global period? Some of them are separately payable, but only with the right modifier: 57 for the decision for surgery, 24 for an unrelated postoperative visit, 78 for an unplanned return to the OR. Our orthopedic guide sorts out which is which.

Are your routine foot care claims getting denied? Medicare covers it only when a qualifying systemic condition is documented, and the Q7, Q8, and Q9 modifiers have to match the class findings in that day's note. A prior visit's findings will not carry the claim. Our podiatry guide breaks it down.

How much of your patient balances actually clear in the first cycle? The practices that do best ask for autopay at time of service and capture text-to-pay consent at intake, instead of leaning on paper statements. Our 2026 breakdown compares the channels.
