Does the GC modifier affect reimbursement or is it simply informational?

I think it's informational only. This is from the CGS site https://www.cgsmedicare.com/partb/pubs/news/2013/0913/cope23261.html

GC Modifier
  • Definition: Service has been performed in Part by a Resident under the Direction of a Teaching Physician
  • Submit this modifier with all services that are performed by a resident in a teaching facility under the direction of a teaching physician.
    • This modifier is for informational use only and may be submitted with all procedure codes.
    • If other modifiers also apply, submit the other modifiers first, followed by HCPCS modifier GC.
