Remember Blood Count Bundles With This Clip-and-Save Chart

Published on Mon Jan 26, 2004

Use the following chart to find the 25 edit pairs that the National Correct Coding Initiative, version 10.0, put in place for new 2004 CBC codes G0306 (Complete [CBC], automated [Hgb, Hct, RBC, WBC, without platelet count] and automated differential WBC count) and HCPCS G0307 (Complete [CBC], automated [Hgb, Hct, RBC, WBC, without platelet count]). The chart also lists the assigned modifier indicator of either "1," meaning that you can override the edit pair with a modifier such as -59 (Distinct procedural service) or   -91 (Repeat clinical diagnostic laboratory test), or "0," meaning that you can't override the edit pair.
