Can anyone help me figure out what would be the correct anesthesia modifier for a physician with two concurrent cases; one with a resident and the other with a SRNA? I'm having trouble finding an example of this situation. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
AA GC
Anesthesiologist Directing One Anesthesia Resident or SRNA

QK GC
Anesthesiologist Directing 2 – 4 Anesthesia Residents or SRNAs
 
Thank you for responding but I'm still confused. If the modifier is AA how can there be a concurrent case with a QK? I may be overthinking this.
 
QK is the modifier you would use for the anesthesiologist; this is for medical direction of 2, 3 or 4 concurrent procedures involving qualified individuals

GC is the modifier you would use for the resident and/or SRNA; this is for the resident and/or SRNA under direction of a teaching physician

AA would be used if the teaching physician was directing one resident or SRNA.
