NCCI in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, the NCCI sets guidelines for proper coding practices, including bundling rules that prevent billing for services that should be combined into one charge. Providers must follow NCCI rules to avoid claim denials and penalties.
For example, NCCI rules may prevent a provider from billing separately for a diagnostic test that is typically included in a primary procedure.
