RARC N19: Procedure Considered Incidental to Primary Service
What This Means
The billed procedure is considered incidental to the primary procedure performed and is not separately payable. The payer has bundled this service into the reimbursement for the primary procedure. Review bundling rules (such as CCI edits) and, if the service was truly distinct and separately identifiable, resubmit with the appropriate modifier (e.g., modifier 59 or XE/XS/XP/XU).
