I need some clarification. I know we use the AI modifier for:
To identify the admitting or attending physician who oversees the patient's care while in an inpatient or nursing facility setting
Appended to the initial inpatient hospital visit procedure code
My question is this. When I have a specialist going to the hospital for their consultation visit would the AI be appended when they are NOT the ones who admitted the patient. This is strictly a consult visit.
