I have a denial for CPT 33227 and 33216-59 where 33227 is being denied as Not covered when performed during the same session/date as a previously processed service for the pa tient.

Anyone have any advice on how to get 33227 paid?
 
NCCI Edit Results:

Edit exists with 33216. 33227 is a Column 2 code. If both 33216 and 33227 are submitted, only 33216 will be paid.
- This edit CANNOT be overridden via CCI-associated modifiers.
- Rationale: CPT Manual or CMS manual coding instructions
- Effective 1/1/2012
