Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by American Acupuncture Council Network (AAC).

Did you know modifier GP is being adopted by additional carriers as a requirement for reimbursement of physical medicine services?

These plans include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Blue Cross of California (Note: This does not include Blue Shield of California), BCBS plans of Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, New York (Empire), Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin. (*Note: If it is an Anthem policy there will also be a need for modifier GP.

All physical medicine codes 97010 through 97799 (PT codes) billed to these plans must be appended with a GP or they will be denied as having a missing or incomplete modifier.

Remember, billing with incorrect acupuncture CPT and ICD codes can lead to claim rejections and delays in payments, which can have a devastating impact on generating revenue and keeping you in business.
