I need some advice
I help out in my spare time , non paid as a 911 for coding and billing questions for a non profit rural clinic on Hawaii Island.
The Dr at this clinic had a PA as a locum while he was away ( he is the only MD ) . I know about the 60 day rule and modifier Q6.
Can a PA be a locum ? and can someone enlighten me on the Q5 modifier ?
I and the clinic would appreciate any help anyone can give us
Thank you Mahalo
