Subject: Modifier -22 is used in conjunction with a surgery code, that explains that it was complex or more difficult.

I am a MT and a medical biller. Say for instance we use a regular surgery code 29880 (arthroscopy of the knee) and we might add a -22 if this procedure was more difficult than usual. We increase our fees for the surgery due to the difficulty, thus the -22 indicates why we upped our fees. Hope this helps and was not too confusing.
