Correct Coding Guidelines

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) has recently corrected information regarding the modifier indicator statement within both Correct Coding Guidelines reimbursement policies. 
 
These policies previously stated: 

  • “If the claim contains a valid modifier on the code 2 procedure and the modifier indicator is 2, the service will receive separate reimbursement.”  

The change made on 4/26/2023, will now state: 

  • “A claim that contains a valid modifier on the code 2 procedure and the modifier indicator is 1, the service will receive separate reimbursement.” 

For any questions regarding this change, please contact the phone number on the back of the BCBSND member ID card.
