About

When setting up an Activity Code for the first time, a modifier can be added at the Activity Code level. This means that anytime that Activity Code is billed the modifier is applied. Modifiers can also be added at the Party Type level which means that anytime the Activity Code is billed for a specific Party Type, the modifier is applied. Additionally, you can add a modifier at the Insurance Payer level. It's important to keep in mind that modifiers are additive. If you have a modifier set at any other level then all modifiers will be attached to the Line Item with that Activity Code.
