Stuart,
Thanks for replying. The only problem I have with your response is that there are
codes that already exist for those combinations.
For example:
EM - Emergency reserve supply (for ESRD benefit only)
EP - Service provided as part of medicaid early periodic screening diagnosis
and treatment (EPSDT) program.
GE - This service has been performed by a resident without the presence of
a teaching physician under the primary care exception.
GG - Performance and payment of a screening mammogram and diagnostic
mammogram on same day
GH - Diagnostic mammogram converted from screening mammogram on
same day.
GJ - OPT OUT physician or practitioner emergency or urgent service.
GN - Service delivered personally by a speech-language pathologist or
under an outpatient speech-language pathology plan of care.
GP - Service delivered personally by a physical therapist or under an
outpatient physical therapy plan of care.
How do we accommodate these "duplicate" codes?
Thanks.
Jon

Jon,
Your first example is the correct way to send modifiers to HCPCS codes.
SV1*HC:A0090:HR*540*UN*1***1**N~
There is also an example with the SV1 segment in the 837P (X098) Implementation Guide
with a modifier on page 400.
Hope this helps,

Subject: 837P - Ambulance Modifiers
I am part of the wnyhealthenet Consortium, LLC and we need clarification
regarding the work that was done by Sarah Lanthier on ambulance HCPCS codes and
modifiers. I looked in the free stuff section of Claredi's website and did not find
an ambulance claim WITH a modifier. So I pose this question to you.
Our question is related to how the codes and modifiers should be represented
in the 837P.
Please indicate which example is correct:
1.) SV1*HC:A0090:HR*540*UN*1***1**N~
2.) SV1*HC:A0090:H :R *540*UN*1***1**N~
3.) None of the above.
This is not intended to be a trick question.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jon Fox
