Reimbursement policy update: Modifier 78
(Policy G-06016, effective 07/01/2024)
Past system limitations prevented us from reimbursing Modifier 78 in complete alignment with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). New system updates will now allow Anthem to closer align with the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Data Base (MPFSDB).
For claims processed on and after 07/01/2024, you may see a slight adjustment in reimbursement which will reflect this configuration update.
For additional information, please review the Modifier 78 reimbursement policy at anthem.com/ca/provider/medicare-advantage.
