In 2024 there is a new to way in which caregiver training is reported and there is still some confusion on when modifiers have to be assigned to procedures involving assistants. Each year there are also possible updates to the Medicare policies for therapy with new threshold limits and the annual “always therapy” listing that also requires the use of modifiers.
