New to PA billing for assisting in surgeries. Have done some research, but found contradicting answers.
I bill physician billing, not facility billing.
1st Question: Difference in AS and 80 modifiers? I see the definitions in the CPT book, but a few examples may make these make a little more sense.
2nd Question: Would we send separate claims to the insurance company? The first for the physician under his NPI, the second for the PA under her NPI - with the AS or 80 modifier?
The research my supervisor and I have done lead us to believe that we will need separate claims for each provider, but there has been disagreement among superiors.
