Note: CMS revised the Article due to an updated CR that clarified language to present the policy as described in the regulation and to update the sequence of events in the example calculation. This correction clarifies that the offset adjustment is subtracted from the per treatment amount before the application of the 65% adjustment. The changes are in dark red font on pages 1 and 2. CMS also changed the CR transmittal date, transmittal number and the link to the transmittal. All other information is the same.

CR 12347 tells you about:

  • The AX modifier
  • Relevant revenue codes

Make sure your billing staff knows about these changes.
