Modifier indicator 0: the edit cannot be bypassed with an NCCI-associated modifier. Each row names the code that denies — CMS writes every edit as an ordered pair, and it is the Column Two code that is denied while Column One is paid.
Modifier may be allowed Copy link
Modifier indicator 1: an NCCI-associated modifier may be used when the circumstances and documentation support it. Each row names the Column Two code, which is the one denied absent an allowed modifier.
