Wiki TAP Block bundles

[lcole7465]

I am trying to find some information on the follow CCI edit bundles. I am getting a CCI edit that the new TAP block codes (64486 - 64489) are bundled with CPT codes: 36556 (Central CVP line) & 36620 (A-line) are not billable together. I have not had any luck with locating a reason for the bundle. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

You should write or fax NCCI and get more information directly from them.

I contacted NCCI via fax and received a response today. They have overturned their original decision and will be making it retroactive to 1-1-2015. The correction will appear in the July 1, 2015 update. We can resubmit any denied claims after that date.
