Is there a billing code to get added reimbursement for additional time spent on patients who require more care?
Modifer 22 identifies a service requiring significantly greater effort, such as increased intensity, time, technical difficulty of the procedure, the severity of the patient’s condition, and physical and mental effort required.
To be considered for additional reimbursement when reporting modifier 22, you are required to provide a concise statement about how the service differs from the usual.
Documentation must indicate the substantial additional work performed and the reason for the additional work.
The use of modifier 22 will increase the value of the service and most payers will reimburse as a percentage of their allowed rate.
