Physical Status codes?
I'm looking for the guidelines for the physical status codes to show to a doctor. We work for a group of anesthesiologists and CRNAs and we are told to bill the p3 and p4 a lot, and myself and the other biller feel that much of the time, those modifiers are inappropriate. We know what each modifier is, but we can't find anything stating when it is appropriate to use them, and what diagnoses are valid with them. Can anyone tell me where to find this? Thanks in advance!!
