CE Articles | Be aware of differences between modifiers -76 and -77 | Susan E. Garrison, CHCA, CHCAS, CCS-P, CHC, PCS, FCS, CPAR, CPC, CPC-H, reviews when coders should report modifiers -76 and -77 and notes methods for auditing a facility’s accuracy when using these modifiers. |
Q&A: How do HCPCS codes C1841 and C1842 differ? | Q: We just heard about a new add-on HCPCS code for 2017, C1842 (retinal prosthesis, includes all internal and external components; add-on to C1841) for the Argus Retinal Prosthesis, but are not sure how to report it along with C1841 (retinal prosthesis, includes all internal and external components). It has nearly the same description as C1841, so this is confusing. |
