It is my understanding that a cataract procedure has a 90 day post op period. The modifier when postop care is co-managed during this time period is 55- Postoperative Management Only. Is there a different modifier if the post op period extends to 91-180 days? Thank you.

The post op period is 90 days. I am not aware of another modifier to indicate that the post op period is extended. I thought that any visits after the post op period would just be billed as individual visits since they are outside of the post op period.

Thank you for confirming Michele.... that is my understanding also.
