Hi,
Does anyone know if you would use the GC modifier when a fellow is providing a service or is it just for residents?
thanks

My understanding of the GC modifier is that it indicates the presence of a teaching physician. It doesn't really have to do with who he/she is teaching. It goes without saying that this excludes medical students.

Because a fellow is still in the learning stages even though he is post-graduate, the GC would apply in this situation.
