Does anyone know if you need the KX and Q0 modifers for pacemaker and ICD implants if the patient goes through ER and is admitted?

Also, what is the patient is not a Medicare or Medicare advantage patient. Would you apply a modifier for regular BCBS, etc...

I have tried looking this information up but am unable to locate it. If anyone know's of a website with this information, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
 
AAPC did a great article about ICD insertions and the Q0 modifier in the August 2016 Healthcare Business Monthly.
I put the KX modifier on the pacemakers for all the insurances.
