Hospice Modifier

(1/1)

riafat:
What modifier we should use while submitting claim for "Hospice"?

Thanks in advance.


Riafat

Michele:
There is not a modifier to indicate "Hospice".  Are you referring to services that are unrelated to Hospice Care?  That would be Modifier GV or GW.

riafat:
Yes thanks alot.
Can you please also educate me when we should use GV OR GW modifier?

Thanks Once again,
Riafat

Michele:
modifier GV is for attending physician not hospice

and GW- service unrelated to terminal condition

So if you are billing for services unrelated to the patient's terminal condition then you would use one of these modifiers.

riafat:
Thanks :)
