I have conflicting information as to when modifier QW should be applied to CLIA tests.

Should it be applied to?
1) Medicaid plans including the HMO's (Ohio)

2) Commercial Insurances

Thanks!

I read the article it is very useful and we can follow it...!


Sluke hope it is helpful..


Thanks.
 
this modifier is to be reported if your office/testing site is performing a CLIA waived test. Not all tests require this modifier be appended to the CPT code. Hemoglobin A1C tests require a QW. It does not depend on "who" the insurance company is, it depends on whether the test needs the modifier... theres a list online... google "CLIA WAIVED TESTS".
