Pack: medicare-pricing · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/explain_ncci_edit for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

What NCCI procedure-to-procedure edits exist for a single code? Lists the other codes this HCPCS/CPT code has a recorded PTP edit with — whether it is the code you bill (Column 1) or the one bundled into another (Column 2) — with each pair’s modifier indicator. Answers “what codes conflict with 99214”, “what is bundled into this procedure”, “why would this code be denied when billed with something else”.

Parameters

`code`	string	yes	HCPCS/CPT code, e.g. “99214”.
`setting`	string	no	Which edit table: “practitioner” (default) or “hospital”.
`status`	string	no	Filter to “active” (default — currently in effect) or “all” (include deleted edits too).
