There was a medical conference last weekend and some of my physicans are telling me -- that the "AI" modifier is to be used EVERY time a medicare patient is being admitted.
I thought the "AI" modifier was to be used only in the case of consults:
Ex. Dr. Hyde admits a patient and is consulting Dr. Jekyll for diabetes management.
Dr. Hyde - 99223 (AI)
Dr. Jekyll - 99223
I also searched on the CMS' website and it's stated under CONSULTS. Can someone please explain this? I am more confused now.
