Use appropriate modifier if not billing for the full global procedure CPT only copyright 2016 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. Copyright 2016 American Dental Association (ADA). All rights reserved
35 December Technical Component TC The TC is for all non-physician work, and includes administrative, personnel and capital (equipment and facility) costs, and related malpractice expenses.
