Question: Texas Subscriber Answer: CCI version 16.0 does not delete edits bundling new and established patient E/M visits into clinical treatment plans (77261-77263) and simulations (77280-77295), but it does change the modifier indicator. Before Jan. 1, the modifier indicator for these edits was "0," meaning that you could not override the edit. But the Jan. 1 release changed the modifier indicator to "1," which means you may override the edit using a modifier. How this helps: Example: The oncologist also documents simple clinical treatment planning on that date of service. You report 77261 (Therapeutic radiology treatment planning; simple). Then you append modifier 25 (Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service on the same day of a procedure or other service) to the E/M code to indicate it was a separately identifiable service.
