How Are Ambulance Modifiers Used
Ambulance modifiers are used in medical billing to indicate the type of service provided during patient transportation. These alphanumeric codes help to describe the situation and the services provided to the patient. For example, some modifiers illustrate the transportation mode, such as ground or air transport, while others may indicate the patient’s condition or the distance covered during transport. Overall, these modifiers are vital for accurate record-keeping and ensuring providers are reimbursed correctly for their services.
