Summary
BCBS Wyoming requires providers to include all applicable cervical cancer screening codes along with global billing codes to help monitor member screenings. Additionally, new automated claims review rules will deny team surgery procedures with modifier 66 when not allowed, and will deny duplicate procedures based on whether modifier 66 was used in previous claims.
Action Required
Immediately: Update billing procedures to include all applicable cervical cancer screening codes alongside global billing codes using the provided coding guide. Before March 2023: Review team surgery procedures to ensure modifier 66 is only used when team surgery is allowed for specific CPT codes. Update billing system rules to prevent duplicate billing conflicts with modifier 66 usage. Claims will be denied for improper modifier 66 usage or conflicting duplicate procedures.
