Hospice patients

I am having problems submitting claims for Hospice patients that are not related to their Hospice care. What modifiers do I need to use and in what sequence?

re: Hospice patients

The GV modifier is used when a physician is providing a service that is related to the diagnosis for which a patient has been enrolled into hospice. This physician is not associated with the hospice and is providing services as a private physician.
