that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in the Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative
Manual, Chapter I(A).

though they were a single physician. Physicians in the same group practice but who are in different specialties
may bill and be paid without regard to their membership in the same group. You can find this rule in the
Medicare Claims Process Manual, Chapter 12, Section 30.6.5.

session or patient encounter, different procedure or surgery, different site, or organ system, separate
incision/excision, or separate injury. You can find this rule in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter
23, Section 20.9.1.1B.
The rules say that the claims processing systems contain edits which identify exact duplicate claims and
suspect duplicate claims. All exact duplicate claims or claim lines are auto-denied or rejected (absent
appropriate modifiers). Suspect duplicate claims and claim lines are suspended and reviewed by the claims
administration contractors to make a determination to pay or deny the claim or claim line. Claims or claim lines
that have been determined to be exact duplicates of another claim or claim line are denied. However, such
denials may be appealed. An exact duplicate for physician and other supplier claims submitted to a MAC or
carrier is a claim or claim line that exactly matches another claim or claim line with respect to the following
elements: Medicare beneficiary identifier; Provider Number; From Date of Service; Through Date of Service;
Type of Service; Procedure Code; Place of Service; and Billed Amount." You can find this in the Medicare
Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 1, Section 120 and 120.2.
