Reminders and Helpful Tips – March 21, 2019

NCCI Compliance:

Our new claims processing system is fully compliant with the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) and you may have noticed some slight coding changes. To ensure quick and accurate claims processing make sure your office staff and third-party billing vendors are using NCCI edits.
