Wiki "incident to" modifier?

[aochoa]

My boss mentioned he heard something on a modifier for "incident to" services, but I haven't found anything on it. Does anybody know about it?

No, there is no modifier when you bill "incident to". You just bill using the physician's name and NPI number but make sure you are following the incident to guidelines.

Check out HCPC modifier SA

There is a modifier SA which is a Level II HCPCS modifier used for supervised NP services. Not all insurance companies recognize this modifier so you'd have to check with the individual carriers.
