Modifier 79 is used to indicate that a procedure or service was performed during the postoperative period for a reason unrelated to the original surgery. It helps distinguish between procedures that are part of the surgical recovery and those that are separate, such as complications or new issues. This modifier is crucial for accurate billing and to avoid denials from insurance companies for unrelated services. It is typically appended to the CPT code of the procedure performed.
