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.

NCCI edits are not a coverage determination or a substitute for the current CMS NCCI Policy Manual. Deleted pairs are excluded from this page.
