Understanding Medicare GY Modifier for Chiropractic Services

2. Modifier GP

The GP modifier is used to indicate that a service is a physical therapy service. In chiropractic services, the GP modifier may be used for services such as therapeutic exercises or modalities that are within the scope of physical therapy. Medicare covers physical therapy services when they are medically necessary and provided by a qualified provider. The GP modifier helps to identify the service as a physical therapy service and ensures that it is processed correctly by Medicare.

Overall, understanding the differences between the GA, GP, and GY modifiers is important for chiropractors submitting claims to Medicare. By using the appropriate modifier and following Medicare guidelines, chiropractors can ensure that their claims are processed accurately and that patients are informed of their financial responsibility for non-covered services.
