Common questions Copy link
Why is there no payment amount for Q5102?
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 Q5102 be denied or paid less?
These come from CMS indicators 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.

The global surgery concept does not apply to this code.
| Modifier | Reports |
|---|---|
| -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.
Can you bill it with another code? Copy link
Enter a second CPT or HCPCS code billed on the same date of service. We'll check the current NCCI procedure-to-procedure edit between it and Q5102.

This is computed from CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q2 2018 release (schedule pfs, effective April 2018). 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. CMS owns the code description shown for HCPCS Level II codes. Our methodology covers the depth: sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how we cross-check claims before they ship.
