Hi all,
I am a newly employed biller (CPC-A) working in a pediatric dental surgery center where patients always have gen anesthesia for their procedures. I do not have my HCPCS here because in this position it is usually never needed - until today!
My question is about AA modifier for a PPO plan to be billed - Aetna. The patient is a P3 status (cerebral palsy) which is normally what I use for the modifier for 00170 under Medi-Cal billing but with PPO plans I'm wondering if I need to use AA instead? Normally I am
supposed to for P1 status patients but is there a P3 alternative for the AA?
Thanks!
