Set up modifiers to automatically link to CPT codes?

[silverbiller]

I'm trying to figure out how to make sure that required modifiers automatically populate on the routing slip/claim when the Dr. selects the CPT code.
For example, YAG will need 55 LT or 55 RT and Tear Labs will need RT or QW RT for Medicare. I've been looking all over the place in Crystal but having trouble. Is that something that has to be done for each insurance company? I can't find see it there either. We had both options in Officemate & hoping Crystal is the same.

So, as far as I know there is no option to automatically populate the modifiers into the routing slip/invoice. You can go to Admin>Billing and edit YAG billing code and select the option "Requires Modifier" which will give the person checking them out at the front desk a reminder that this billing code needs a modifier when they go to save.

You can assign an automatic modifier to a CPT code - in the Edit Billing Code window, you would add a - then a modifier after the CPT code like this: 12345-RT

Thank you! I'll give that a try.
