DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD ARTICLE DESCRIBING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MODIFIER PT - screening colonoscopy for Medicare pt switched to diagnostic aka therapeutic colonoscopy where pathology is taken VERSUS MODIFIER 33 preventative service for commercial carrier.
I thought that PT was to be used for Medicare pts and that modifier 33 was to be used for commercial carriers to identify that a screening colonoscopy had been changed to a diagnostic therapeutic colonoscopy with pathology taken.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this issue.
Thanks
