Preventive Services

Abstract

Tufts Health Plan accepts and recognizes the use of modifier 33; when the primary purpose of the service is the delivery of an evidence based service in accordance with a USPSTF A or B rating in effect and other preventive services identified in preventive services mandates (legislative or regulatory), the service may be identified by adding 33 to the procedure. For separately reported services specifically identified as preventive, the modifier should not be used. Refer to our Modifier Payment Policy for more information regarding modifiers.
