NCCI Q4 2026

Based on CMS's National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI). A few examples appear here; use the complete edit page to check a specific pair.

Not separately payable with G0175 on the same date of service—no modifier bypasses the edit (modifier indicator 0)

36591 36591 denies
36592 36592 denies
96523 96523 denies

Showing 3 of 11.

Separately payable with G0175 only when an NCCI-associated modifier is appropriate and documented (modifier indicator 1)

90832 - Brief Therapy Session 90832 denies
90833 - Psychotherapy With Evaluation and Management 90833 denies
90834 - Standard Therapy Session 90834 denies

Showing 3 of 9.

Modifier 59 and the X modifiers are not a universal bypass—CMS expects the most specific applicable modifier, and which one that is depends on the pair and the documented circumstances.

Common payment questions Copy link

Why would a Medicare claim for G0175 be denied or paid less?

These come from CMS indicators on this page, not general billing advice.

  • Its status indicator is X (statutory exclusion)—The statutory definition of physician services does not include this item. See status indicators
  • 11 codes form NCCI pairs with G0175 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
  • 9 codes pair with G0175 under modifier indicator 1—separately payable only when an NCCI-associated modifier (59, or a more specific XE, XS, XP, or XU) is clinically appropriate and the documentation supports a distinct service; without one, 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.

Source & method

Show sources

This page uses CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q4 2026 release (effective October 2026). National baselines use GPCI 1.000 and exclude sequestration. Status and payment instructions determine whether a national amount is established; blank RVUs stay blank. Releases are immutable: historical evidence remains tied to the specified release. CMS owns the code description shown for HCPCS Level II codes. Our methodology explains sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how we cross-check claims before they ship.
