ACR Advises Radiologists to Review CMS NCCI Q3 Edit Files
June 11, 2026
CMS released the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Procedure-to-Procedure (PTP) edit files for Quarter 3 of 2026, effective July 1.
CMS posted the Hospital PTP Edits v322r0 and the Practitioner PTP Edits v322r0 on June 1, 2026. This update incorporates all prior edits and revisions dating back to January 1, 1996. The NCCI was developed by CMS to promote correct coding methodologies and reduce improper Medicare payments. Practices should review the edits and assess any impact on coding, billing, reimbursement, and compliance processes.
ACR® urges radiology practices to review the NCCI edits relevant to the profession and make any necessary updates to their systems.
Refer to CMS Transmittal 13667, the ACR Bulletin and the CMS NCCI webpage for additional information, or contact Maria Tran, ACR Director of Economic Policy.
