Wiki 20610 denial by Medicare

[Blackhorse]

Medicare has denied 20610 because the PT is enrolled in hospice. What kind of modifier we need to get us paid?

GV-provider is not part of the hospice employees.

Modifier GW signifies services not related to the hospice patient's terminal condition.

HTH!
