Why would a Medicare claim for 0711T be denied or paid less?
These come from CMS indicators on this page, not general billing advice.
- Its status indicator is C (carrier-priced)—Your Medicare Administrative Contractor prices this code case by case, usually after reviewing documentation. See status indicators
- 63 codes form NCCI pairs with 0711T carrying modifier indicator 0—no NCCI-associated modifier bypasses the edit, so billed together on the same date of service, a line of the pair denies. See billing together
- 166 codes pair with 0711T under modifier indicator 1—separately payable only when an NCCI-associated modifier (59, or a more specific XE, XS, XP, or XU) is clinically appropriate and the documentation supports a distinct service; without one, a line of the pair denies. See billing together
- More than 1 unit per patient per date of service exceeds 0711T's Medically Unlikely Edit (MUE) limit. See billing together
- Only a technical component exists for 0711T—there is no professional-component amount to bill. See billing policy
Payer-specific coverage and documentation rules live outside these files, so a claim that clears every check here can still be denied on other grounds.

Billing policy Copy link
These billing-policy indicators explain how 0711T is treated. They apply whether the code is nationally priced or carrier-priced: a restriction like "bilateral not allowed" still matters on a carrier-priced code.

Billing together (NCCI edits) Copy link
NCCI Q4 2026Based on CMS's National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI). A few examples appear here; use the complete edit page to check a specific pair.
Not separately payable with 0711T on the same date of service—no modifier bypasses the edit (modifier indicator 0)
Showing 3 of 63.
Separately payable with 0711T only when an NCCI-associated modifier is appropriate and documented (modifier indicator 1)
Showing 3 of 166.
Modifier 59 and the X modifiers are not a universal bypass—CMS expects the most specific applicable modifier, and which one that is depends on the pair and the documented circumstances.

Reconciling a contractor-priced payment for 0711T Copy link
There is no national allowed amount for 0711T, so every reconciliation of this line runs against the MAC fee schedule that was in force for the date of service rather than against a national baseline.
What to check
- Compare the paid amount against the MAC fee schedule in force for the date of service; there is no national allowed amount here to reconcile against.
- Only a technical-component amount is published for this code, so a professional charge billed on it has no fee-schedule amount behind it.
- Reprice the line against the release, locality, setting, modifier and participation status that applied to the date of service before treating any difference as an underpayment.
