Modifiers Q0 & SC for ICD's, how are they used?
Date: Dec 13, 2018
Question:
I would like some clarification on the use of modifier -Q0 and -SC for ICD implants. I was under the impression -Q0 was only for biventricular devices. SC is for all ICDs. I'm confused! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
