Ease into the latest National Correct Coding Initiative edits that affect you most with our handy chart.
Pay special attention to the 76375 (Coronal, sagittal, multiplanar, oblique, 3-dimensional and/or holographic reconstruction of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or other tomographic modality) edits to prevent denials for this often over-used code.
Note: If you report a column 2 code with its corresponding column 1 code, payers that adopt NCCI Edits will only pay for the column 1 code. The modifier indicator lets you know if--in the appropriate circumstances--you may break the bundle. A “0” tells you not to break the bundle. A “1” means you can override the edit. Just be sure you have documentation to back up your decision.
