We have updated our General Coding and Billing Payment Policy with information about National Physician Fee Schedule File professional component (PC) and technical component (TC) indicator 3 codes.
We want to remind you that Blue Cross does not reimburse any CPT or HCPCS codes identified as having a professional or technical indicator of 3 (PC/TC 3) in a facility setting. We have aligned our operations to support this policy.
PC/TC 3 codes represent the technical component of a service. That service has a different CPT or HCPCS code representing the professional component of the service. These technical codes have no associated physician work relative value units (RVUs) and therefore will not be reimbursed.
This policy applies to all products.
