Updated 2/16/2025

Modifier for active treatment in chiropractic care

Description

The AT modifier is used by chiropractors to indicate that the services provided are for active or corrective treatment. It is essential for billing specific HCPCS codes related to chiropractic care, as claims without this modifier may be denied for maintenance therapy. Note that the AT modifier is not required for tetanus or rabies injections as of September 13, 2021.
