The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Edits Version 32.0 are in effect for dates of service January 1, 2026 – March 31, 2026. 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.
