Learning ObjecHves • IdenHfy when modifier 59 is required on a CPT code and which CPT code to append the modifier 59 to on the claim form
• Recite how one discipline’s billing may cause another discipline’s billing to require modifier 59
• Compare the difference between Medicare's '8-‐minute rule" and definiHon of substanHal of Hme-‐based CPT codes for private insurance carriers
• Be able to bill correctly to an insurance carrier based on services provided, amount of Hme spent on each intervenHon, and complexity of evaluaHon

NaHonal Correct Coding IniHaHves (NCCI) • Implemented to combat abusive and fraudulent billing pracHces
• IniHated in 1996 in private pracHce • Expanded to hospital outpaHent departments in August 2000
• Expanded to Rehab Agencies (ORF), SNF Part B, CORF’s, and Home Health Agencies under Part B on January 1, 2006
• Current version is 23.0 for private pracHce and physician owned therapy clinics and 23.0 for all other sedngs

Modifier -‐ 59 • DisHnct Procedural Service • Indicates that a procedure or service was disHnct or independent from other services performed on the same day
• Used to idenHfy procedures/services that are not normally reported together, but are appropriate under the circumstances
• DocumentaHon must support use of modifier – 59 in that the procedures/services were provided at separate and disHnct Hmes, were medically necessary and required the skills of a therapist or therapist assistant under the supervision of a therapist

CCI Edits • Are applicable to one specific discipline of therapy billing different procedures on the same day that require modifier-‐59 and
• Are applicable when mul,ple disciplines of therapy under the same provider number occur to the same beneficiary on the same day (i.e. PaHent receiving any combinaHon of PT, OT, and SLP on the same day within the same organizaHon and all services are billed on the same claim form. This occurs in SNF’s, hospitals, CORF’s, rehab agencies, home health agencies providing Part B therapy, and physician owned clinics billing incident-‐to-‐physician).

Modifiers
• GN – Services delivered under an outpaHent speech-‐language pathology POC
• GO – Services delivered under an outpaHent occupaHonal therapy POC
• GP – Services delivered under an outpaHent physical therapy POC
• Required since July 1, 2004 and must be on each CPT code on the claim form billed to your Medicare contractor
• StarHng to see some non-‐Medicare payors uHlize the above modifiers such as UnitedHealthcare and some state Medicaid programs
14 Property of Gawenda Seminars & ConsulHng, Inc. All Rights Reserved!
CCI Edit Example • By discipline, none of the procedures require modifier-‐59 to be reimbursed
• Since this paHent was seen on the same day by more than one discipline within the same organizaHon, need to check between all disciplines (cross-‐check) for need of modifier 59
• CMS billing system does not recognize therapy specific modifiers (GN, GO, GP) for the purpose of CCI edits

CCI Edit Example • In previous example, would need to append modifier-‐59 to
97110, 97112, 97116, and 97530
• DocumentaHon would need to support that the services were performed at separate and disHnct Hmes
• Not appending modifier-‐59 in this example would cost you approximately $140-‐$165 in lost reimbursement
• i.e. 97110GP59 or 9753059GO or 92507GN59
• No specific order required when applying mulHple modifier’s

“8 Minute Rule” Medicare OutpaHent
• Applies to CPT codes Hmed in 15-‐minute increments only
• Applies to any insurance carrier that is federally funded (TriCare, Federal BC, Medicare, Medicaid, Managed Medicare and Medicaid plans)
• For any single Hmed CPT code, providers bill the appropriate number of units based on the Hme intervals outlined 2 slides ahead
• If more than one 15-‐minute Hmed CPT code is billed on a calendar day, then the total number of Hme-‐based units that can be billed is constrained by the total treatment Hme of Hme-‐based intervenHons by that discipline. Do not count minutes of service-‐based CPT codes
20 Property of Gawenda Seminars & ConsulHng, Inc. All Rights Reserved!
“8 Minute Rule” Medicare OutpaHent
• When more than one service represented by 15 minute Hmed codes is performed in a single day, the total number of minutes of Hmed service determines the number of Hme-‐based units billed
• If any 15 minute Hmed service that is performed for 7 minutes or less on the same day as another 15 minute Hmed service that was performed for 7 minutes or less and the total Hme of the 2 is 8 minutes or greater, then bill 1 unit for the service performed for the most minutes
