Wiki AI modifier

[dje10008]

If your provider admitted the patient. But his physician assistant did the H&P note. The Physician also added a small note at the bottom but not a split share. Are you able to add an AI modifier to the PA's note? Because the physician is wanting to charge a discharge code.

Yes, PAs may bill admissions and use the AI modifier, as long as they're acting within the scope of their license in your state. The codes and modifier are not restricted just to physicians.
