ZZZ Add-on code

This code is always billed alongside another service and carries no follow-up period of its own. The primary procedure's global period governs; this indicator does not determine whether either line is payable.

-25 A significant, separately identifiable E/M on the same day as the procedure, beyond its usual pre- and post-operative care.

A modifier reports what happened; it does not by itself make a service payable. Documentation has to support it.

Common questions Copy link

Why is there no payment amount for 99417?

Its status indicator is I (not valid). Medicare uses a different code to report and pay for this service. The blank is deliberate: the amount is either unknown or paid under another provision, so reading it as $0 would be wrong.

Why would a Medicare claim for 99417 be denied or paid less?

Each item below comes from a CMS indicator on this page — not general billing advice.

  • Its status indicator is I (not valid) — Medicare uses a different code to report and pay for this service. See status indicators

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.

When does this rate change?

CMS publishes a fee schedule release every quarter (January, April, July, October), and each is versioned here. See what changed each release, or get an email when a new release moves rates.

Source & method

Show sources

This is computed from CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q3 2024 release (schedule pfs, effective July 2024). National amounts apply a GPCI of 1.000 and leave sequestration off. The status indicator decides payability, never the RVU values, so a blank RVU stays blank. Releases are immutable: a rate retrieved for a past quarter always reflects that release. Commercial and cash-pay figures anywhere on this page are arithmetic on the Medicare amount, using commonly cited reimbursement ranges. They're illustrative, and no nationwide claims database stands behind them. Our methodology covers all of this in depth — sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how claims are cross-checked before they ship.
