With hundreds of thousands of NCCI code pairs to search through, Understanding Medicare's NCCI saves time by teaching the reader how to make quick coding decisions. Published by the American Medical Association (AMA), this resource provides further explanation and analysis of Medicare's NCCI edits, and is a helpful guide to those who use the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT.) and HCPCS code sets for reimbursement. In addition to walking coders, providers, and payers through the logic behind the NCCI coding system, this book teaches the reader how to make the correct determination regarding bundling vs. billing separately for edited services. Documentation and learning break tips offer pointers on CPT coding, proper documentation requirements, and when it is appropriate and inappropriate to bypass edits for mutually exclusive edits (MUEs). |
