Place of service 11 - Device at no cost.

Date: Jul 27, 2020

Question:

In an office-based lab (place of service 11), when a device is given to the provider by the manufacturer at no cost, does a modifier need to be assigned to the procedure code? I considered modifier -FB, but instructions for assignment don't seem to include office (POS 11).
