Effective June 14, 2010, BCBSIL will make updates to the Modifier 59 exempt code pair logic through our code auditing tool, ClaimCheck. These changes are based on the updates to the Centers for Medicare and Medicade Services (CMS) National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) code auditing system. Additionally, effective July 26, 2010, BCBSIL will be upgrading to McKesson ClaimCheck Version 45 for all lines of business.

For further information about current bundling methodologies, or to request specific code-to-code bundling, you may utilize Clear Claim Connection^TM (CCC or "C3"), a Web-based code auditing reference tool available to all independently contracted BCBSIL providers.
