code are listed with their descriptors in the Modifiers: Approved List
and Modifiers Used With Procedure Codes sections of the appropriate Part 2 manual.

New Patient
A new patient is one who has not received any professional services Reimbursement
from the provider within the past three years. If a new patient visit has been paid, any subsequent claim for a new patient service by the same provider, for the same recipient received within three years will be paid at the level of the comparable established patient procedure.
RAD Reductions The payment resulting from this change in the level of care will be made with a Remittance Advice Details
(RAD) message defining the reduction as being in accordance with the service limit set for the procedure. These codes are listed in the Remittance Advice Details (RAD) Codes and Messages: 001 – 9999 sections in the Part 1 manual.
