Indicate the 84-day depot injection of either agent by using “3” as the number of units of service. Providers should use the “GA” modifier to indicate that the Advanced Beneficiary Notice is on file. With the “GA” modifier, the provider can collect the co-payment on the Medicare allowance for the least costly medication and the difference between the submitted charge and the Medicare allowance for the least costly medication (not to exceed the difference in Medicare allowance between the two medications).

The current CMS Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) should be used.

Updated Surgical Add-On Code(s) Listing

Certain surgical procedure codes are add-on codes that are always billed with another service. These add-on codes have a ZZZ indicated in the post-operative period. Post-operative work is not included in the fee schedule payment for the ZZZ codes.

Listed below are the surgical add-on codes and their primary procedure codes. Payment will not be made for these add-on codes unless billed in addition to accompanying primary procedure.
