Hello all,
I am at a new employer now and I am unsure as to why they are using the QW modifier for Medicare claims when they bill a cpt code in the 80000 series, where I used to work we billed for those codes and we never had to use this QW modifier, when I asked why we are using it and what it means because I have never heard of it. I am being told because they were told to, no one knows why but they just do.
I just want to get some clarification on this, since I have no prior experience with it.
I think I will also check my local medicare carrier website to see if I can get a clue.
TIA
