In the past I have seen where our facility has charged two codes (84439 and 84436) on the same date for the same patient. This always raises a NCCI edit. According to CMS a modifier is not allowed. Okay, I understand all of that. The lab directer doesn't want to remvoe the charge. Do we leave the charge and bill it as non-covered? I was under the impression that if this is "incorrect coding" then we should correct it, thus the charge/CPT is removed. Am I wrong?
