For some reason, CCI edits have always been challenging for me.
I have 2 procedures performed during surgery. When I check CCI edits one way, 14060 as first and 67966 as second there is no edit. But when I flip 2 codes, and search 67966 as first and 14060 as second procedure, they are bundled. Can someone explain to me why that is? Both are "major" procedures (90 global) and 14060 pays slightly more. Can I bill 14060 as primary procedure and 67966 as secondary and not get denied?
I would greatly appreciate your help. It's just not clicking for me.
