We do the professional interpretations for our local hospital, who have some patients involved in clinical trials. In a phone meeting it was brought up that we should be billing clinical research modifiers (Q1) along with a NCT research number in box 19. The hospital has been billing this since 2014 and I found out this week. We are getting paid for our services with no problem. Is it necessary since we operate under different tax id number to bill these modifiers and research trial numbers? Any help would be appreciated!
