Insurance Modifiers

[rich_omsafw]

The paper claim form has 4 spots for modifiers but we can only add 2 modifiers in WinOMS.  Many of our bigger surgery cases require 3-4 modifiers.  How can we add these extra modifiers in WinOMS?

Hello, is this Medical or Dental claim? 

What box number on the claim?

[rich_omsafw]

Medical form.  Box 24D.

Anything on this?  I also opened a case on this before I posted on the Exchange and haven't heard back.  Case #7491969.  It's been like 2 weeks and support has been radio silent.  Why do I have to constantly follow up with support to find out if anything has been done?

Software only allows 2 modifiers at a time. There is currently not a way to allow 4.

@matt_ackerman @qadanielle  is there a plan to add additional modifiers? 

[matt_ackerman]

we can put that on the list!

Is this for a particular insurance carrier or medicare? 

Is this for printed claims -- which claim format number?

Have you ever received a rejection related to modifiers? Or does it affect reimbursement rates?  If you've received feedback from the insurance company (rejection or instructions) please share that with me as well.

Thanks!
