Answer:

Modifiers give information, necessary for insurance claiming.

The characters of two-digit, the modifiers, like- alpha numeric, numeric etc. give additional data or information to claim the amount of insurance. It’s use is important in billing and coding of services.

It gives the opportunity to a provider to learn about the situation of a changed service, but it also informs that the codes of procedure have remained unchanged.

Multiple modifiers are used to describe a service fully. Proper documentation of records of patients is needed as it can help in the modifier’s use.
