Why is there no national PFS amount for 93740?
Its status indicator is B (bundled). Medicare folds payment for this code into the service it is incident to, never onto its own line. Status B is not separately payable under the PFS.
Which billing rules and modifiers apply? Copy link
CMS's surgical and split-billing indicators don't adjust 93740's amount.
Global surgery period XXX (does not apply).
Why would a Medicare claim for 93740 be denied or paid less?
These come from CMS indicators on this page, not general billing advice.
- Its status indicator is B (bundled)—Medicare folds payment for this code into the service it is incident to, never onto its own line. See status indicators
- 3 codes form NCCI pairs with 93740 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
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.
