The 2011 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule, published earlier this month has provided a new modifier to use when a screening colonoscopy becomes diagnostic or therapeutic The modifier "PT" will be used on the diagnostic code and the claims processing system will process the service with the screening benefits. Addendum: The information is in the Federal Register at this link, page 73431, page 263 of the document. Note: This is a huge file and takes awhile to download.
