Coding It Right



Coding It Right

The NCCI program includes two types of edits: NCCI edits (also known as Procedure to Procedure (PTP) edits) and Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs) (Units of Service). ... Each PTP edit has a column one and column two HCPCS/CPT code and a Correct Coding Modifier Indicator (CCMI).

Quality Measures

Transition Year 1
Exclude individual MIPS eligible clinicians or groups who bill <$30,000 in Part B allowed charges OR provide care for <100 Part B enrolled beneficiaries during the performance period or a
prior period.

Note: For the 2017 and 2018 MIPS performance periods, individual MIPS eligible clinicians and groups who are excluded may voluntarily participate in MIPS, but would not subject to the MIPS payment adjustments.

Year 2 Transition
Exclude MIPS eligible clinicians or groups who bill <$90,000 in Part B allowed charges OR provide care for < 200 Part B enrolled beneficiaries during the performance period or a prior
period.

Note: Starting with the 2019 performance period, individual MIPS eligible clinicians and
groups who are excluded, but exceed one of the low-volume thresholds, would be able to optin
to MIPS and be subject to the MIPS payment adjustments.

CPT II Codes

It provides an overview of the performance measures, a listing of CPT Category II codes that may be used with each measure, as well as any applicable reporting instructions.

Have you captured the appropriate ICD-10 , to meet the HCC Coding?
Did you code to indicate the appropriate measure has been performed?
Have you chosen the correct E&M level of service?   Is it under coding or over coding?
Is the practice in compliance with all FEDERAL / STATE / LOCAL requirements?
