Resident name on claim

[nmvoege]

When billing with the GC modifier for professional services do you need the residents name on the claim? Do you use the residents name in field 24j (I know the corresponding loop whatever - I'm old school) and the supervising/teaching physicians name in field 33 (again whatever loop is relevant)?

I've never seen the resident's information on the claim. In my limited experience with this, teaching facilities may not even credential the residents with the payers, so the claim would need to have the teaching physician's information in both of the fields you mention in order to process and pay correctly.
