    Correct answer: Modifier 25

    Modifier 25 is used to report an evaluation and management service that is significantly unrelated to the surgical procedure performed by the same physician on the same day and the minor procedure was not planned but rather happen as a spontaneous decision made at the time of the physical examination.
