2. Modifier 52: This modifier is used to indicate a reduced level of service or a procedure that was partially reduced or eliminated at the physician's discretion.
3. Modifier 62: This modifier is used to indicate that two surgeons, each in a different specialty, provided separate operative sessions on the same patient during the same operative session.
