CareSource Georgia Medicaid is updating its policy on CPT modifiers 59, XE, XP, XS, and XU effective November 1, 2025. This is a revision to the existing reimbursement policy (PY-1365).

Action Required
By October 31, 2025: Billing team must access the full policy document via CareSource.com (Providers > Tools & Resources > Provider Policies > Georgia Medicaid > Reimbursement) to review the complete PY-1365 policy revision. Compare the new version against the archived previous version to identify specific changes to modifier 59, XE, XP, XS, and XU usage and payment rules. Update billing software configuration, encoder settings, and internal billing guidelines to reflect any new modifier application requirements or restrictions. Communicate changes to providers and coders. Train front-line billing staff on modifier application changes. Failure to implement changes by the effective date may result in claim denials or payment delays for Georgia Medicaid claims.
