Correct Code Editor Updated

The Regence BlueShield Correct Code Editor (CCE) identifies medical code pair edits used in addition to CMS' NCCI edits. These code pair edits are:

• Compiled using CMS' NCCI written rules, CPT language and other recognized sources
• Followed for all lines of business including the Federal Employee Program (FEP)

Our CCE is updated quarterly (January, April, July and October). Updates are clearly labeled with the corresponding version of CMS' NCCI. The January update corresponds to NCCI Version 16.0.

The CCE update in April will correspond to NCCI Version 16.1. Codes that require clinical information are updated monthly.

If you have questions about our CCE, please contact Provider Customer Service or your provider consultant.
