🔍 Modifier 26 vs. TC: Key Differences in Medical Billing In medical billing, understanding the distinction between Modifier 26 (Professional Component) and Modifier TC (Technical Component) is essential for accurate reimbursement. Modifier 26: Professional Component Definition: Used when a physician bills for the interpretation of a service (e.g., reading an MRI). Example: A radiologist interprets an MRI scan but does not perform the scan itself, billing with Modifier 26. Modifier TC: Technical Component Definition: Used when a facility bills for the technical aspects of a service (e.g., equipment and personnel). Example: A hospital performs an X-ray and bills for the use of the X-ray machine with Modifier TC. Key Takeaway Modifier 26 = Professional services (interpretation). Modifier TC = Technical services (operation). Mastering these modifiers is crucial for reducing claim denials and ensuring proper reimbursement. 💬 What are your experiences with these modifiers?
