Has anyone noticed with the new for 2018 chest and abdomen x-ray single view codes that they hit a bundling edit? There is a CCI edit based on "HCPCS/CPT procedure code definition". It does say a modifier can be used, but we’re still thinking the edit is in error as these are 2 distinct body regions and the old codes never bundled. Does anyone know or understand the rationale behind this?
