The SS modifier is used in healthcare billing to indicate that a service was provided in a home infusion setting. This modifier is specifically used for HCPCS codes and identifies the specific location where the service was rendered.
Here are some examples of how the SS modifier might be used:
- A patient receives a home infusion of medication for a chronic condition.
- A patient is receiving home infusion therapy for a recent surgery or illness.
- A nurse visits a patient's home to administer medication via infusion.
The SS modifier helps ensure that the correct payment is made for the services rendered, as home infusion services may have different reimbursement rates compared to other settings.
