What is the GX modifier for HCPCS?

A change request in ACO-MS refers to adding new information or changing existing information in ACO-MS that may require CMS approval.

What is condition code 21?

The GX modifier is used to report that a voluntary Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) has been issued to the beneficiary before/upon receipt of their DMEPOS item because the item was statutorily noncovered or does not meet the definition of a Medicare benefit.

What does claim status code 21 mean?

Medical necessity issues: If the insurance company determines that the services provided were not medically necessary, code 21 may be assigned. This can occur if the documentation does not support the medical necessity of the services rendered.

What is discharge code 21?

Guidance for implementing instructions for a new patient discharge status code 21 which defines discharges or transfers to court/law enforcement. Issued by: Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS)

What does place of service code 21 mean?

POS 21, also known as Inpatient Hospital, is a specific code used in medical billing to denote the location where healthcare services are provided. In the context of reimbursement, it signifies that the services were delivered in an inpatient hospital setting.

What does condition code 21 mean?

Beneficiaries are assumed to be liable on claims using condition code 21, since these claims, sometimes called no-pay bills and having all non-covered charges, are submitted to Medicare to obtain a denial that can be passed to subsequent payers. An advance beneficiary notice (ABN) is not required in these cases.
