The CMS recently released the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) procedure-to-procedure (PTP) lookup tool to promote accurate code-bundling and prevent improper payment of Medicare Part B and Medicaid claims when incorrect code combinations are reported.

Available via Texas’ Medicare contractor Novitas Solutions, the tool is further designed to help physicians identify when certain pairs of codes are subject to automated edits.
