ACR Urges Practices to Review Latest CMS Coding Updates

ACR® urges radiology practices to review and update their systems to reflect new CMS National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Procedure-to-Procedure (PTP) edits.

These latest edits, which take effect July 1, promote correct coding methodologies and help prevent incorrect Medicare Part B payments. The quarterly update includes all earlier edits and changes dating back to 1996.

Practices can find more details in CMS Transmittal 13667, the ACR Bulletin and the CMS NCCI webpage. For additional information, contact Maria Tran, ACR Director of Economics and Health Policy.
