All About Modifiers 26 and TC

  • Summary

  • This episode explains the use of CPT modifiers 26 and TC in diagnostic radiology coding. Modifier 26 signifies the professional component, which represents services provided by the physician, such as interpretation and report writing. Modifier TC represents the technical component, which includes the equipment, supplies, and personnel involved in the exam. The use of these modifiers depends on whether the physician is employed by the facility and owns the equipment, in which case a global service is submitted. If the physician is not employed by the facility or owns the equipment, then modifiers 26 and TC are used to separate the professional and technical components of the service.
