Progressive Corrective Action Review - 11721

Progressive Corrective Action (PCA) was developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to conduct medical review through sampled claims to validate potential errors and to educate providers concerning the errors. The goal of PCA is to lower the error rate. PCA probe reviews may be conducted either on a pre-payment or post payment basis.

A widespread post payment probe review was completed in August 2004 in Idaho for CPT code 11721*-Debridement of nail(s) by any method(s) six or more.

One hundred (100) claims were reviewed for this probe review. Twenty (20) providers were selected based on their utilization of CPT codes 11721*. The calculated error rate for this probe review was 5.50%.

The predominant error identified in this probe was the lack of documentation of complications of mycotic nails. The patient must have complications of the mycotic nail(s) that causes pain and/or infection and/or limitation of ambulation. This must be documented in the medical record. For further information regarding documentation of podiatric services, the Podiatry Specialty Manual is available on line at: http://www.cignamedicare.com/partb/specman/pdf/podiatry.pdf

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.
