| | CMS issued a host of modifier changes for 2017—from adding and deleting modifiers to making previously optional modifiers mandatory. In addition to payment, data, and edit implications, developing a process for reporting these modifiers properly can ease the administrative burden.

Garrison, CHCA, CHCAS, CCS-P, CHC, CPAR, CPC, COC, will review the proper application of modifiers -PO, -PN, and -JW, along with the deletion of modifier -L1.
