Billing for COVID-19

Harvard Pilgrim Stride (HMO) Medicare Advantage  |  Tufts Health One Care  |  Tufts Health Plan Senior Care Options  |  Tufts Medicare Preferred

Modifier CS was designated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to be used to identify applicable services subject to the cost-sharing waiver during the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). As the PHE ended on May 11, 2023 and Point32Health returned to many pre-pandemic operations and policies, modifier CS should no longer be used. Claims submitted with modifier CS appended may result in a claim denial.
