Article Overview
This article explains a correction to a National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edit involving two orthopedic CPT codes and discusses when the revised edit will take effect. It is aimed at coders, billing staff, and orthopedic practice managers who track CCI/NCCI updates and claim adjustment timing. The discussion centers on the edit’s direction, the planned version change, and the administrative timeline for retroactive claim handling.

Understanding when a correction becomes effective helps practices decide whether older claims may need adjustment and which version to follow for current coding workflow.
