I work for a pediatrics office and we sometimes bill out lab test such as 87804(influenza A/B) we have never billed out a modifier QW on them and have been getting paid. Our administrator is now telling us to get paid we need to start billing out a QW modifier with them when we bill.
I am very confused... I'm a newer coder and don't have coding experience outside of school. I understand that the QW modifier means 'CLIA waived test' and have read up on it but everything I read seems to confuse me even more. I'm not sure why we are now need the QW modifier.
Can someone please help?
