This modifier type is used with visit health service codes to indicate during which time period the service recipient/service provider encounter took place. These modifiers are applicable during the evening on weekdays, during the day and evening on weekends and statutory holidays, and during the night on any day. A fee is added to the base rate as indicated by the modifier.
For home visits and hospice visits, the SUBD modifier should be claimed based on the time at which the encounter commences and the physician responds on an unscheduled basis within a 24 hour period from the time of the call.
The SUBD modifier MAY ONLY be claimed on home visits when a call for attendance by the physician has been made AND the physician responds on a priority basis within 24 hours of the call. The time of the call and the time of the physician attendance at the location of the patient must be recorded in the patient record.
