Modifier TC in Medical Billing
Modifier TC stands for Technical Component, used to indicate that only the technical portion of a service, such as equipment use, is being billed.
Modifier TC in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, the TC modifier is applied when a service involves both professional (physician) and technical (equipment, technician) components. When only the technical aspect is being billed, the TC modifier clarifies that the billing is for the non-physician portion of the service.
For example, a radiology clinic bills for the use of the equipment (technical component) using the TC modifier, while the physician interpreting the images bills separately for the professional component.
