Does anyone know about the FP modifier? I was just challenged on this regarding the insertion of an IUD however I am not sure I have even heard of this modifier!
Thanks

It is a HCPCS modifier for "Service provided as part of family planning program". The codes it is valid for are:Modifier Codes - Modifier: FP
Code Description
A4261 Cervical cap for contraceptive use
A4266 Diaphragm for contraceptive use
A4267 Contraceptive supply, condom, male, each
A4268 Contraceptive supply, condom, female, each
A4269 Contraceptive supply, spermicide (e.g., foam, gel), each
J7300 Intrauterine copper contraceptive
J7302 Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine contraceptive system, 52 mg
J7303 Contraceptive supply, hormone containing vaginal ring, each
J7304 Contraceptive supply, hormone containing patch, each
J7306 Levonorgestrel (contraceptive) implant system, including implants and supplies
S4993 Contraceptive pills for birth control
However, I would check with your insurance companies to see if they even accept the modifier; from what I understand, some states' Medicaid programs require it.
I hope this helps!
