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: the Column Two code is denied and the Column One code 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.
