When working on swallowing and/or feeding with a Medicare beneficiary, if I use electrical stimulation in conjunction with other interventions that are included within CPT code 92526, may I also bill for the unattended electrical stimulation using G0283? Can the same speech-language pathologist (SLP) bill either CPT code 92507 or 92508 on the same date of service as CPT codes 97129, 97130 and/or 97533? Can a speech-language pathologist bill CPT codes 97110, 97112, 97150 and 97530 to the Medicare program? Where can I access the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Procedure-to-Procedure (PTP) edit changes effective April 1, 2021? Where can I access the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Procedure-to-Procedure (PTP) edit changes effective April 1, 2021? Where can I read about the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Procedure-to-Procedure (PTP) edit changes effective October 1, 2020? Can I be reimbursed for both CPT code 92522 (Evaluation of speech production) and CPT code 92523 (Eval of speech production; with evaluation of language comprehension and expression) if both are completed and billed on the same day? Can the 4 new SLP evaluation codes that became effective January 1, 2014 be billed together on the same day? How often does the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) update CCI edits? Why doesn’t modifier 59 go on both the CPT code in column 1 and in column 2? How do I know which CPT code to place modifier 59 on? Does modifier 59 go on the CPT code in Column 1 or in Column 2? What does Column 1 mean for in the Column 1/Column 2 correct coding edits table? At one time, CMS had two different sets of CCI edits. One was called mutually exclusive and the other was called Column 2. What happened to the mutually exclusive edits? Do private insurance carriers and Medicaid programs utilize NCCI edits as Medicare does? Do NCCI edits apply only to outpatient therapy services under the Medicare program? What is the purpose of NCCI edits? Why were National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits developed?
