HELP-PROMPT: Enter a modifier code for this ICD diagnostic condition.
DESCRIPTION: The ALLOWABLE MODIFIERS field contains the letter modifiers for an ICD CM diagnostic code. ICD CM codes for Audiology and Speech Pathology may not adequately describe the scope or variety of problems seen by
audiologists and speech pathologists. Recognizing this deficiency, modifiers have been developed for certain codes to clarify diseases or to provide codes for diseases where no codes now exist. New modifiers should only
be added at the direction of the Director, Audiology and Speech Pathology Service (VAHQ). For some reporting applications, the modifiers will be deleted and only the standard ICD CM code will be reported.
EXECUTABLE HELP: W !?5,"Input should take place ONLY through the QUASAR menu options.",!

HELP-PROMPT: Your answer must be 3 to 35 characters in length.
DESCRIPTION:
