The social security site shows that my start date for benefits began on 5/09, but I did not receive my first check until 6/09. Was that check for May or June? If June, does that mean my start date was June 2009 rather than May 2009 or is the benefit payment always a month behind?
When a Medicare contractor receives a claim with an unlisted HCPCS code for non-OPPS payment, the contractor shall verify that no existing HCPCS code adequately describes the procedure or service. Unlisted codes should be reported only if no other specific HCPCS codes adequately describe the procedure or service.
The GY and GZ modifiers should be used with the specific, appropriate HCPCS code when one is available. In. cases where there is no specific procedure code to describe services, a ânot otherwise classified codeâ (NOC). must be used with either the GY or GZ modifier.
