For the procedure, we’d code 23140 for “excision or curretage of bone cyst or benign tumor, humerus; with autograft (includes obtaining the graft).” Since the procedure was completed but not fully successful, we’d add the -52 modifier, for reduced services, to the code, and we’d end up with 23140-52. Physical Status Modifier (for Anesthesia) Anesthesia procedures have their own special set of modifiers, which are simple and correspond to the condition of the patient as the anesthesia is administered. These codes are: - P1 – a normal, healthy patient - P2 – a patient with mild systemic disease - P3 – a patient with severe systemic disease - P4 – a patient with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life - P5 – a moribund patient who is not expected to survive without the operation - P6 – a declared brain-dead patient whose organs are being removed for donor purposes As we said, these are relatively straightforward, but let’s look at an example that will also use some of the CPT modifiers we learned just a minute ago. Let’s return to that angioplasty example. The patient needs to be anesthetized before undergoing this procedure, so we turn to the Anesthesia section of the CPT codebook and find the code 00216 for “vascular procedures.” Now, kidney problems notwithstanding, our patient is in good health, so we’d add the –P1 modifier to this anesthesia code, and end up with 00216-P1.

All anesthesia services are billed with the CPT codes ranging from 00100-01999, which are crosswalked to surgical codes.

Healthcare service providers utilize these codes all across the United States. The code has five digits that denote a particular type of test or procedure depending on the code combination. These codes are also referred to as HCPCS Level I codes or service codes. An individual can make a quick CPT search to verify if the service offered to them corresponds to what is on the bill. An example of a CPT code is 99396, which denotes the code for a preventive visit to a healthcare facility.
