Documentation Reminder for Co-Surgeons

In circumstances where two or more surgeons are needed, both surgeons must submit claims for the surgery code(s) with the Current Procedural Terminology modifier 62 (Two surgeons).

Each surgeon must:

  • Submit additional supporting clinical documentation (such as an operative report) with each claim.
  • Clearly mark "co-surgeon" on the supporting documentation to demonstrate medical necessity and to identify the co-surgeons.
