Hi,
Could someone please tell me what is the difference when using GV or GW? I'm asking because I was always told that you use the "GW" mod when our doctors are treating a hospice patient and when hospice is treating for a different Dx then what we are treating.
We were recently told by a Hospice agency, that since our doctor was the ATTENDING Physician for a hospice pt, that we were to put the "GV" mod on our claim and that we could bill them (the hospice facility) for ANY Dx that we were treating the patient. I'm confused by this and not sure if this is correct.
Help!
