Wiki J1050 and Modifer U1

[campy1961]

Our J1050 are being denied by Amerigroup (Ks Medicaid) because we don't have U1 modifier attached to it. I contacted our provider rep and she stated the states are going towards using U1 modifier.

Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, let me know.

Thanks, Connie: confused:
