Next Event: Rev Up Your Revenue Cycle Management and Increase Your Bottom Line
Date: February 18,2026
The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Edits Version 31.2 are in effect for dates of service July 1, 2025 – September 30, 2025. NCCI edits are used in all outpatient therapy settings for original Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. In addition, some Medicare Advantage plans, commercial insurers, and workers compensation programs also utilize the NCCI edits.
Gawenda Seminars & Consulting has created a NCCI Edit therapy specific reference sheet for both Medicare and Medicaid. These reference sheets will inform providers when modifier 59 is required on a CPT code on the claim form. In addition, the reference sheet will inform providers what combination of codes will not reimbursed by Medicare and Medicaid if provided on the same date of service.
