Facility visits?
Is it complusory to appende TC modifier when submitting claims for facility visits?
re: facility visits
No.
TC is for claims in which you are providing the technical component.
For example...You own an xray machine, but another doctor is using it and reading the xray. They bill the xray-26, you bill the xray-TC...and you get reimbursed your cost (well sorta) for owning the machine.
When you say facility visits are you talking about a physician going to the hopsital and seeing patients? No modifier is needed. The insurance will know by the place of service that you are providing services out of your office.
