Modifiers can specify the level of service being provided, or be used to specify the type of provider that is rendering the service. They can also help describe why a procedure is necessary. It is important to have the correct modifiers because they tie into the fee schedule rate set by insurance.
NOTE: Modifiers are based on a billing class, which are selected on an employee file. This is important in the event that you add a new user account to your portal.

Permission to View Modifiers
- You will only be able to view modifiers if you have the permission to do so.
- If you do not have permission to select a modifier, the modifier that is associated with your billing class will automatically attach after that note has been approved to bill.
Render Provider Override
-
If you have a rendering provider override in place to bill under a supervisors NPI and modifier, then the supervisor's modifier will automatically attach when the note is approved to bill. With an exception being when the providers select specific modifiers on the notes.
