Can someone explain to me when to use the 33 modifier when billing for a Colonoscopy? Is it on any screening colonoscopy on only with codes G0105 and G0121?
Thank you,

If you are reporting separate anesthesia charges to Medicare, you will report the services with a 33 modifier if the screening did not turn therapeutic and a PT modifier if the screening did turn therapeutic. Reporting the different modifiers will tell Medicare whether they will waive the copay or not.
