Claim denial for NCCI Edits from another group

Hi all!
I have a denial for a NCCI edit, the tricky part is, the code they are pairing it with is from a different group all together. I’m not sure of the situation, as far as if the patient was seen one place and then decided to come to us or what, but either way, did an E/M visit along with fundus photos and referred the patient out to a specialist for a detached retina. The insurance company is denying due to another code for a similar procedure being done by another provider on the same date of service. I can’t find anything specific in the NCCI edits that talk about this type of situation and in all my years, this is a first!
Any ideas or thoughts on where I can find this specific information?
Thank you in advance :confused:

Question regarding Debridement coding and NCCI Edits

Hello, I am a coder at a small billing company and one of our clients specializes in debridement procedures.

According to a recent update in NCCI Edits, the codes 97597 and 97598 can’t be coded together. We think this is the result of a very recent change in CPT and there is a different code in place of the add-on, 97598, that is acceptable according to NCCI Edits. Please, does anyone know what are the acceptable code(s) to be used in place of 97597 and its add-on, 97598?

Thank you!

John
