Wiki CLIA waived test-"QW" modifier

[dawn1170]

Does anyone know if this modifier should be appended to all payers or just the goverment payers. I can not find any information that states this modifier must be used on all payers.

Thanks,
Dawn

I'm in a pediatrics office and we append it to all... we don't have anyone denying it and we are contracted with several "major" insurances. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input.
