Does CPT 96375 need a modifier?
CPT codes 96374 and +96375 are considered integral to the intubation procedure, therefore you cannot separately code and bill them. However, if the IV pushes are separate and distinct from the intubation, assigning the IV push codes with modifier -59 (distinct procedural service) is appropriate.
