Wiki Is there a modifier to use when billing Non-digital X-rays?

[econtona]

Medicare is supposed to be decreasing reimbursement to providers not using digital x-rays starting 2017. To date I can't find any info on the modifiers we are supposed to be using to indicate we are billing non-digital x-rays

Yes, the modifier is FX and the reduction was effective 1/1/2017 per Medicare Change Request 9727. Here's a link to the MLN Matters article that addresses this:
