I’m looking for guidance on billing locum tenens services for an ancillary radiology group.
I was advised to bill with the group NPI in Box 33, and to list the radiologist who is on leave in Box 24J as the rendering provider. My question is whether modifier Q6 is required in this scenario.
I’ve been told that because we are an ancillary radiology facility, modifier Q6 would not be needed — but I want to confirm whether that is correct, particularly for Medicare billing.
Has anyone encountered this situation or can clarify whether Q6 is required when billing this way?
Thank you in advance for your help.
