Insurance companies use many different methods and policies in determining claims processing based on correct coding guidelines and medical necessity. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services with the help of the AMA and specialty Societies created the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) to promote National coding methodologies and control improper coding for appropriate reimbursement. Today there are multiple parts of the NCCI edits that all play a role in payment or denial of a Medicare claim, as well as many commercial insurance claims that have also implemented these edits in one form or fashion. With an understanding of the edits, and knowledge on how to apply them, frequently a denial is understood and can be corrected for timely reimbursement. This is critical for the revenue cycle of an insurance claim because there are timely filing limits set by the insurance carriers that allow corrections and reconsiderations for only a certain amount of time after the date of service for original filing date. This webinar will discuss the multiple files and documentation of the edits so the attendees can apply these edits at the time of billing and coding or in the stage of resolving denials.
Webinar Objectives
There are several different parts of the NCCI Edits so it is important to understand each part it knows which ones should be applied to a particular claim and if there is a need to alter a claim utilizing modifiers, codes, etc. It is sometimes difficult to know to where to turn when there is a question on how services or procedures should be coded, or what is considered bundled or unbundled. The NCCI edits are the most used group of edits used by insurance companies across the country to process and deny claims. CMS publishes these edits at no charge, and they are available to anyone on the cms.gov website
