I need help - it has been awhile since I coded hospital visits for a doc who covers for another doc and I can't remember if I need a modifier or not. Can someone help?? I appreciate any help I can get:confused:
 
Coverage

If he is covering in reference to a locum tenen you would use Q6 modifier
 
Modifiers for covering doctors

If the doctor who is covering is using his billing information, the billing does not require a modifier. Coverage rules state the visit is to be billed as an established patient visit.
