Updated Podiatry Edits
CGS recently became aware of a system issue with podiatry edits. Effective 1/16/2020, podiatry edits for CPT codes 11055-11057; 11719-11721 and HCPCS code G0127 have been updated. Claims will deny if not submitted with class finding HCPCS modifiers Q7, Q8 or Q9. The use of these modifiers is based on:
- Local Coverage Determination ID L34246, “Routine Foot Care and Debridement of Nails”

- Local Coverage Article A57193 – Billing and Coding: Routine Foot Care and Debridement of Nails
