dentogingival junction, periodontal membrane, cementum of the teeth, and alveolar process. You can find this
rule in the Social Security Act, Section 1862(a)(12) and in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,

The rules say that providers/suppliers must report services correctly. Procedures should be reported with the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter I(A). The rules say that the Correct Coding Initiative was developed to promote correct coding and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment in Part B claims. The Coding Policy Manual also explains what is referred to as Column One/Column Two Correct Coding and Mutually Exclusive Edits. These are code pairs that should not be reported together. Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) subject all line items for the same beneficiary, same National Provider Identifier (NPI), and same date of service to National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits. The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) File Formats continue to include a Correct Coding Modifier Indicator (CCMI) for the Column One / Column Two Correct Coding edit file. This indicator determines whether an NCCI Procedure to Procedure (PTP)-associated modifier causes the code pair to bypass the edit. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 23, Section 20.9.
