CodeMap® Compliance Briefing: August 21, 2013

Editor's Welcome:

As promised, this week's CodeMap® Compliance Briefing continues our series concerning important Medicare Coverage Edits. Today, we will discuss Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits and how CMS and its contractors use this tool to determine if a claim represents a medically reasonable and necessary service. The next CodeMap® Compliance Briefing will examine yet another important Medicare edit, the MUE. As always, please forward any questions, comments, or suggestions to us via email.

Sincerely,

Sorry, access to this content requires a current subscription.
