PD Modifier
Did you get a response for this question? I read Barbara's article in the Coding Edge, but outpatient vs. office was not addressed. Does anyone know if the PD modfier would be required on outpatient services within the 3 day time frame? Their payment is already reduced, and the technical charges fall under the hospital's 3 day window. thanks for any replies!
