I need help in using the correct modifiers on neurosurgery codes. I keep getting them denied. 22554, 63075, etc. I need any and all information please to get this done correctly.

Your question is too vague.  There is no way to provide complete use of modifiers in a forum post.  Please explain the question in more detail.

The cpt book states do not code 22554 in conjunction with 63075 even if performed in seperate procedures. Report anterior cervical discectomy use 22551
