CG Modifier - Edit 92 Bypass

(1/6) > >>

tina7627:
I was wondering if anyone knows why Medicare would keep sending a claim to RTP for Edit 92 Modifier Bypass with codes 63650 and 96365. The claim has 63650 with C1778; which I believe is what would make the claim not want the CG modifier. I have tried several different ways to correct this claim, but it continues to give the same rejection. Can anyone give me some direction or even maybe know what the problem is?
Thank you!!

Michele:
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what RTP is, or what Edit 92 is saying.  Can you give more information?  It's really not possible to help with the information given.

tina7627:
RTP is return to provider. Means there is something wrong with the claim so Medicare will not process it until corrected.

There are certain procedure codes that need to have CG modifier on them if they are to be billed without a device.
It states on the error "A DEVICE DEPENDENT PROCEDURE IS REPORTED WITHOUT A DEVICE CODE. Effective 01/01/2019 the edit maybe be bypassed when device procedure from "Edit 92 Modifier Bypass" list is reported with modifier CG. See the BYPASS_E92_MODIFIER column in the DATA_HCPCS table in the IOCE quarterly data files on the CMS IOCE website."
I already went through these reports and called Medicare several times. Medicare can't tell me how to code so I am not sure which code is missing the CG modifier. My guess right now is 96365 since I already tried CG modifier on the 63650. I just don't want to guess.

I hope this helps.

Michele:
I have not billed those codes before, however, with what you are describing it seems that the CG would go on the C1778.  Have you tried that?

tina7627:
I have not. I will try that. Thank you. I will let you know if it works or not.
