Providers have asked Noridian for help on procedural and diagnostic coding for their claims. Noridian understands the importance of using the appropriate codes. Providers are encouraged to reach out to their specialty associations, the American Medical Association (AMA) or the American Hospital Association (AHA) Coding Clinic Advisor to assist with coding questions. The HCPCS Quarterly Updates is also a great searchable resource provided by CMS.

Noridian call centers and education representatives are not permitted to provide coding advice. The CMS IOM Publication 100-09, Chapter 6, Section 30.3.1 indicates providers are responsible for determining the correct diagnostic and procedural coding for services they furnish to the beneficiary.
