Wiki PT MODIFIERS

Amanda
Try the modifiers GN ,GO , GP ,96 and 97 per episode and type of PT if it is new vs re-occurring. Add the referring doctor and if had visit date before treatment date submitting. ensure the dx codes list area of pain(back, thoracic neck ) not just dx G89.
I hope helped you.

Does anyone have some good information on PT Modifiers? We switched to a new system and I seem to be getting hit with more PT Modifiers then ever.

Thank you,
Is the new system set up correctly? What are the edits hitting? What exactly did you want to know about PT modifiers? I am trying to be helpful but also, google the words PT modifiers or Physical Therapy Modifiers and you will find all you need. It's one of the most readily available coding Q&A topics. Having a new EMR or EHR shouldn't change this. One or the other is or was probably set up different/worse/better as far as internal edits go. Are you coding outpatient/clinic services? Is the system stopping the claim internally (pre-bill), rejected at the clearinghouse level, or are you getting actual denials? Checking individual payer requirements may also help.
