Practitioner Modifiers<br />

The table below lists 17 modifiers that can be used with <strong>ABC</strong> codes to document the specific<br />

practitioner type providing services.<br />

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not see your practitioner type below, you can still use<br />

<strong>ABC</strong> codes, provided that the <strong>ABC</strong> coded service, remedy and/or supply item<br />

is within your scope <strong>of</strong> practice as defined by your state.<br />

<strong>ABC</strong> code modifiers also link <strong>ABC</strong> codes to scope <strong>of</strong> practice laws for each practitioner type<br />

in each state to help protect users from fraudulent billing.<br />

<strong>ABC</strong> code modifiers always indicate a practitioner type.<br />
