How are ambulance modifiers used in CPT
Ambulance modifiers in Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) are used to provide additional information about the service given. Specifically, they illustrate the trips’ origin and destination, such as the patient’s home, hospital, or specialized care facility. Additionally, these modifiers can detail the type of emergency or non-emergency nature of the transport, the use of supplies, or services provided during the transport. Understanding and correctly using these modifiers is crucial for accurate billing in medical emergency transportation services.
