Wiki Gw modifier

[surfergirl]

Hi,
Has anyone used this modifier with respect to a patient on Hospice care but the attending physician was treating for non-related hospice DX with success when billing to Medicare?

Thank you,

The GW modifier is used when a physician is providing a service that is not
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 the attending physician.
