KU Modifier January 1, 2020 | The use of the KU modifier will start with claims submitted on July 6, 2020 and be effective for dates of service from January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 for certain wheelchair accessories and seat back cushions used with complex rehabilitative manual wheelchairs and certain manual chairs. The full list of accessories impacted start on page 9 of the CMS Change Request 11635 and apply to wheelchair codes K0005, E1161, E1231-E1238 and K0008. |
RT/LT Modifiers | Effective for claims with dates of service (DOS) on/after 3/1/2019, suppliers must bill each item on two separate claim lines using the RT and LT modifiers and 1 UOS on each claim line. Claim lines for HCPCS codes requiring use of the RT and LT modifiers, billed without the RT and/or LT modifiers or with the RTLT on a single claim line, will be rejected as incorrect coding. See Correct Coding - RT and LT Modifier Usage Change for more information |
