How should modifier -59 be used under NCCI?Modifier -59 is used to indicate a distinct procedural service. To appropriately report this modifier, append modifier -59 to the column 2 code to indicate that the procedure or service was independent from other services performed on the same day. The addition of this modifier indicates to the Medicare Administrative Contractors that the procedure or service represents a distinct procedure or service from others billed on the same date of service. In other words, this may represent a different session, different anatomical site or organ system, separate incision/excision, different lesion, or different injury or area of injury (in extensive injuries). When used with a NCCI/CCI edit, modifier -59 indicates that the procedures are different surgeries when performed at different operative areas or at different patient encounters. If none of the anatomical modifiers can be used appropriately to describe the different sites, then the modifier -59 may be attached to indicate the separate location. Since modifier 59 bypasses many NCCI/CCI edits, providers should use careful consideration before applying this modifier and internal compliance plans should consider appropriate protocols for its application. Effective January 2015, CMS established four HCPCS modifiers as a subset of the -59 modifier to define a "Distinct Procedural Service." Providers should use the X {ESPU} modifiers in accordance with their published definitions (and perhaps after consultation with their respective MACs) for CMS. Modifier -59 should not be used unless no other more specific modifier is appropriate. The four modifiers include:
How should modifier -25 be reported with NCCI/CCI?Modifier -25 should be appended to an evaluation and management (E/M) code when reported with a separately reportable procedure on the same day of service. Appending modifier -25 to the E/M code indicates to Medicare contractors or fiscal intermediaries that the physician performed a significant, separately identifiable E/M service above and beyond the other service provided. Modifier -25 may be appended to E&M services reported with minor procedures (global periods of 000 or 010 days) or procedures not covered by global surgery rules (global indicator XXX). How do I report medically reasonable and necessary units of service in excess of a Medically Unlikely Edit (MUE) value?Since each line of a claim is adjudicated separately against the MUE value for the code on that line, the appropriate use of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) modifiers to report the same code on separate lines of a claim will enable a provider/supplier to report medically reasonable and necessary units of service in excess of an MUE value. CPT modifiers such as -76 (repeat procedure by same physician), -77 (repeat procedure by another physician), anatomic modifiers (e.g., RT, LT, F1, F2), -91 (repeat clinical diagnostic laboratory test), and -59 (distinct procedural service) will accomplish this purpose. Modifier -59 or -X{EPSU} should be utilized only if no other modifier describes the service. Since this approach bypasses the MUE process, providers should use careful consideration before reporting multiple units of the same service for the same beneficiary on the same calendar date in excess of the MUE values. Internal compliance plans should consider appropriate protocols for any claims exceeding the MUE values. |

search_modifiers() structuremodifiers() Implementation
ModifiersModifiers indicate that a service or procedure performed has been altered by some specific circumstance, but not changed in its definition or code. They are used to add information or change the description of service to improve accuracy or specificity. Modifiers can be alphabetic, numeric or a combination of both, but will always be two digits. Some modifiers cause automated pricing changes, while others are used for information only. When selecting the appropriate modifier to report on your claim, please ensure that it is valid for the date of service billed. If more than one modifier is needed, list the payment modifiers—those that affect reimbursement directly—first. Payment modifiers include: 22, 26, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 58, 62, 66, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, AA, AD, AS, TC, QK, QW, and QY. Informational or statistical modifiers (e.g., any modifier not classified as a payment modifier) should be listed after the payment modifier. If multiple informational/statistical modifiers apply, you may list them in any order (as long as they are listed after payment modifiers). Note: It is up to the provider to determine if a modifier applies, and then choose the most appropriate modifier based on medical documentation. The definition of each modifier can be found within the document linked in the type of modifier column in the chart below. For modifiers that can be used for more than one topic, please refer to the Additional HCPCS or other CPT for definition. |
Global surgery & related servicesMultiple surgeriesMultiple surgeries are separate procedures performed by a physician on the same patient at the same operative session or on the same day. Multiple surgeries are distinguished from procedures that are components of or incidental to a primary procedure. Intraoperative services, incidental surgeries or components of surgeries will not be separately reimbursed. Reimbursement is based on the following guidelines for multiple surgical procedures:
The regular multiple surgery rules, as referenced above, will be applied to the procedure codes below when billed for the same beneficiary on the same day, by the same physician. Nuclear medicine (78802-78803, 78806-78807)These pricing rules apply to dermatology services:
The limiting charge is 115% of the reduced payment amount for each procedure. When more than five procedures are performed, reimbursement for the sixth and/or subsequent procedures will be reviewed on an individual consideration basis. Operative notes should be submitted with the claim when five or more surgical procedures are performed during the same operative session. Reporting guidelinesNovitas does not recommend physician reporting modifier 51 on claims. The claims processing system has hard-coded logic to append the modifier to the correct procedure code/s. However, if you do report modifier 51, follow the guidelines below:
Example: If you are billing for a repair of a rotator cuff (Code 23412), and a ligament release (code 23415), and a claviculectomy (code 23120), report the codes as follows:
Multiple endoscopy proceduresEndoscopic pricing is identified by an indicator of (3) under the "multiple procedures" field on the fee schedule. When performing multiple procedures through the same endoscope, payment is made for the highest valued endoscopy (100% of the allowance). The code with the second highest value will be paid at the allowed amount minus the allowed amount for the base code. If there are multiple endoscopic codes and the allowed amount for a code is less than the base code allowed amount it will not be paid. Example: While performing a fiber optic colonoscopy (CPT code 45378), a physician performs a biopsy on a lesion (code 45380) and removes a polyp (code 45385) from a different part of the colon. The value of code 45380 and 45385 have the value of the diagnostic colonoscopy built in. Rather than paying 100 percent of the highest valued procedure 45385 and 50 percent for the next 45380, payment is made for the full value of the higher endoscopy (45378), plus the difference between the next highest endoscopy (45380) and the base endoscopy (45378). Using the fee schedule amounts for the following participating provider base rate as for the state of Texas, the Dallas locality physician would bill procedure codes 45380 and 45385. Payment would be made for the full value of 45385 ($255.08), plus the difference between the 45380 and 45378 ($54.20) for a total of $309.28. Multiple interventional radiological proceduresIf performing multiple interventional radiological procedures, payment for both the radiology code and the primary surgical code is 100% of the fee schedule. Subsequent surgical procedures will be reimbursed according to standard multiple surgery rules. Global surgical packageThe payment for a surgical procedure includes a standard package of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative services. The preoperative period included in the global fee for major surgery is 1 day. The postoperative period for major surgery is 90 days. The postoperative period for minor surgery is either 0 or 10 days depending on the procedure. For endoscopic procedures (except procedures requiring an incision), there is no postoperative period. The Medicare approved amount for these procedures includes payment for the following services related to the surgery when furnished by the physician who performs the surgery. The services included in the global surgical package may be furnished in any setting, e.g., in hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs), physicians' offices. Visits to a patient in an intensive care or critical care unit are also included if made by the surgeon. However, critical care services (99291 and 99292) are payable separately in some situations. The following services are included in the payment amount for a global surgery:
The following services are not included in the payment amount for a global surgery:
For minor surgeries and endoscopies, the Medicare program will not pay separately for an evaluation & management service on the same day as a minor surgery or endoscopy, unless a significant, separately identifiable service is also performed, for example, an initial consultation or initial new patient visit. As stated earlier, there is no postoperative period for endoscopic procedures (unless an incision is required) and minor surgical procedures have postoperative periods of 0 or 10 days, based on the procedure. Add-On surgical proceduresCMS has assigned various surgical procedures with global surgery post-operative periods of "ZZZ". These procedures, while surgical in nature, are add-on codes that are always billed with another procedure. There is no post-operative work included in the fee schedule amount for "ZZZ" codes. When billed independent of another qualifying service, "ZZZ" procedures will be denied since they, by definition, are not stand-alone procedures. When billed in conjunction with a primary surgical procedure or qualifying service, both the primary and add-on code will be paid. The global surgery rules apply to the primary procedure. Splitting post-operative careSpecific billing guidelines must be followed when the surgical procedure and the post-operative care is split between different physicians. Modifiers 54 and 55 are used to indicate that two different physicians are rendering the surgical care and post-operative management services. The physician who is rendering the one-day preoperative care, the intraoperative services, and any in-hospital visits bills his/her services with the date of the surgery, the procedure code for the surgery, and a 54 modifier to indicate that the bill is reflective only of the surgical care. The physician rendering the postoperative, out of hospital care associated with a given surgical procedure should bill for his/her services with the date of the surgery, the procedure code for the surgery, and a 55 modifier. If the surgeon also cares for the patient for some period following discharge, the surgeon should bill the surgery with a 55 modifier and indicate the portion of the post-op care provided in addition to the surgery with a 54 modifier (to indicate the intra-operative service). In those cases where the postoperative care is "split" between physicians, the billing for the postoperative care should be reported as follows:
Both the surgeon and the physician(s) providing the post-operative care must keep a copy of the written transfer agreement in the beneficiary's medical records. Where a transfer of postoperative care occurs, the receiving physician cannot bill for any part of the global services until he/she has provided at least one service. Once the physician has seen the patient, that physician may bill for the period beginning with the date on which he/she assumes care of the patient. Where physicians agree on the transfer of care during the global period, the following modifiers are used:
Both the bill for the surgical care only and the bill for the postoperative care only, will contain the same date of service and the same surgical procedure code, with the services distinguished by the use of the appropriate modifier. Providers must report the date post-operative care began and ended along with the number of post-operative care days provided on which care was relinquished or assumed. Both the surgeon and the physician(s) providing the post-operative care must keep a copy of the written transfer agreement in the beneficiary's medical records. Billing examplePhysician A performs a hysterectomy (58150) on 04/15/2021 in the hospital. The procedure has a 90-day global period. The patient was in the hospital for 8 days until 04/23/2021 during which time physician A administered post-operative care. On 04/24/2021, physician B took over the post-operative care, which was administered in the office. Bilateral proceduresBilateral surgeries are procedures performed on both sides of the body during the same operative session or on the same day. CMS has defined codes subject to the bilateral payment rule. Payment for claims reporting bilateral procedures is 150% of the fee schedule amount. The limiting charge is 115% of that amount. Procedure codes containing the terms "bilateral" or "unilateral or bilateral" in their definitions are not subject to bilateral pricing. Payment for these services is 100% of the fee schedule for a surgical code. Procedure codes with terminology indicative of unilateral or bilateral services, as in code 27395 (lengthening of hamstring tendon; multiple, bilateral) or code 52290 (Cystourethroscopy; with ureteral meatotomy, unilateral or bilateral) cannot be reported with the bilateral procedure code modifier 50 since the terminology for the code identifies the service as bilateral. Certain procedures are not applicable to the 150% payment rule for bilateral procedures. Payment is 100% of the fee schedule for each side, e.g., codes 92225 and 92226. When performed bilaterally, report the codes with modifiers RT-LT or 50 to ensure proper payment. Reporting guidelines
For example, if you bill a bilateral mastectomy, report the service as a single line item: 19303 50. |
