CCI version 17.3 sees few changes across the board
Effective Nov 3, 2011
Published Nov 7, 2011
You will see very little changes in 2011’s last round of coding revisions in the most recent Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits, version 17.3, which took effect Oct. 1. There are a total of 2,271 changes, just under the 2,703 changes from version 17.2 (PBN 7/4/11), an exclusive Part B News analysis shows.
NOTE: The CCI manual will not be released until Dec. 1 and will take effect Jan. 1, 2012 rather than the usual Oct. 1 release/effective date, CMS says on its website. Part B News will report any major changes to the CCI manual upon its release.
