Procedure Codes and Modifiers
ASC providers use the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding system. The CPT manual lists most required procedure codes. This manual may be obtained by contacting the Order Department, American Medical Association, 515 North State Street, Chicago, IL 60610-9986. The (837) Institutional electronic claim and the paper claim have been modified to accept up to four procedure code modifiers.
Only procedures listed in the ASC Procedures List are reimbursable in the ambulatory surgical setting. The list of covered outpatient procedures is located in Appendix I.
Where to Report Modifiers on the Hospital Part B Claim
Modifiers are reported on the hardcopy Form CMS-1450 with the HCPCS code. See Chapter 25 of this manual for related instructions. There is space for four modifiers on the hardcopy.
See the ASC X12 837 Institutional Claim implementation guide for instructions for reporting HCPCS modifiers when using the ASC X12 837 institutional claim format.
The dash that is often seen preceding a modifier should never be reported.
When it is appropriate to use a modifier, the most specific modifier should be used first. That is, when modifiers E1 through E4, FA through F9, LC, LD, RC, and TA through T9 apply, they should be used before modifiers LT, RT, or -59.
NOTE:
Procedures not listed on the ASC Procedures List may be covered under special circumstances. Approval must be obtained prior to the surgery. Refer to Section 9.3, Prior Authorization and Referral Requirements, for more information. Prior to providing services, providers should inform recipients of their responsibilities for payment of services not covered by Medicaid.
