Home Forums Discussions Feedback and Recommendations Modifiers- How to enter

In anticipation of pending release of AC PMS- sometime in winter-
I am starting to put the codes on our routing slip- for procedures by biller says she uses modifier 25 on line 1 for some, modifier 51 on line 1 for some.

Can any enlightened readers post here how to do this on current screen so we all get used to this billing before PMS arrives??

Appreciate all the help.
Regards.

Simply go to the account section and in the modifier column point and click on that box and a drop down will appear and a bunch of modifiers will appear and you can choose the one you need. They seem to print on the invoices/fee slips too. 1500 as well. But we seem to be finding other problems with the account section on the newest beta releases. Hope this helps...

We have a modifier problem in that there are a few codes that require special modifiers (medicaid of Oklahoma ONLY) not usually used. One is QW for the rapid step test. If we don't use that modifier we don't get paid. These are too expensive to not get paid. I would like to be able to add and delete modifiers based on our practice.

Ditto that, Here in the state of GA we have to use special non-standard modifiers for Well child visits and other wierd codes (usually letters) for Medicaid to tract certain cases. We need to be able to add to or delete some of the codes using both letters and numbers for this field. Perhaps this can be done in the Admin section.

Great Idea...Write Jon, write Jon a lot. He tends to listen to suggestions that get repeated by well meaning, persistant users.

Question for good coders: Who knows what the proper use of the "32" modifier is? I noticed the "32" modifier in AC. The coding books describe as being for required services, required by law, legislation, insurance plan and so on. Here in NYS there are laws that require certain wellcare to be covered by standard plans. But we are getting the old bundle and inclusive garbage when my wife performs both a standard well physical and a women's well exam of the same day using the Q0091 and G0101 codes. Yet such care is required by law here, so we were wondering while we fight with all the majors to get paid for such important and required services that this "32" modifier might be able to give us a leg up on these folks. Also, can one use more than one modifier when appropriate??? Example: "25", for separete and distinct, combined with "32", for required by law, in such a case seeing that both really do apply here?
Thanks much...
