CMS reviews the guidelines the AMA uses to define CPT codes, then it establishes coding methodologies and policies that promote correct coding on a national scale. Because of the number of healthcare claims processed and paid by the Medicare Part B program, NCCI policies have been in place since 1996 to ensure that only appropriate claims are paid. The system has been expanded to include claims submitted under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and claims submitted by skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). HCPCS Codes and NCCI Medical billers and medical coders need to be aware of the current guidance established by the NCCI when they submit claims to Medicare. While the guidelines are updated quarterly, a basic understanding of the use of HCPCS, and how they are meant to be used according to the NCCI, is essential to adapt to the ongoing changes in the healthcare industry.

Beginning in 2019, rehab therapists no longer need to complete functional limitation reporting (FLR) in order to receive reimbursement, which means HCPCS codes G8978 through G8999 and G9158 through G9186—as well as severity modifiers CH through CN—are no longer necessary, although providers may continue to use them for another year.

There’s still a therapy soft cap—with a slightly higher threshold amount. In 2018, the therapy cap was repealed and replaced with a soft cap, which means that the threat of a hard cap without an exceptions process is no more.

In 2022, Medicare will pay 85% of the cost for outpatient therapy services provided—either in full or in part—by a therapist assistant. This means that if an assistant provides at least 10% of a given service, you must affix the new CQ modifier to the claim—along with the GP therapy modifier. CMS has made the new modifier a requirement beginning January 1, 2020; however, the payment reduction will not go into effect until 2022. There are two fewer rehab therapy CPT codes.

ABPM is also used for monitoring patients with established hypertension under treatment, evaluating refractory or resistant BP, checking whether symptoms such as lightheadedness correspond with blood pressure changes and also for examining diurnal patterns of BP. However, ABPM is indicated for diagnostic purposes only and should not be used for maintenance monitoring. Though ABPM does not require authorization or prior authorization, it is critical to use the right CPT, ICD-10 and HCPCS codes. There are four current procedural terminology (CPT) codes related to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: - 93784: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, utilizing a system such as magnetic tape and/or computer disk, for 24 hours or longer; including recording, scanning analysis, interpretation and report - 93786: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, utilizing a system such as magnetic tape and/or computer disk, for 24 hours or longer; recording only - 93788: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, utilizing a system such as magnetic tape and/or computer disk, for 24 hours or longer; scanning analysis with report - 93790: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, utilizing a system such as magnetic tape and/or computer disk, for 24 hours or longer; review with interpretation and report Although there are four CPT codes related to ABPM, only three of them are covered by Medicare.

Other conditions that affect the prostate, such as enlargement and infection and certain medications and medical procedures, also elevate PSA levels. If the PSA test is higher than normal, the doctor may order a biopsy of the prostate to assist in diagnosis. Coding/Billing Prostate Cancer Screening Because the risk for prostate cancer increases with age, Medicare covers annual prostate cancer screening for all male beneficiaries 50 years and older. At least 11 months must have passed following the month in which the last Medicare-covered screening DRE or PSA test was performed. For Medicare patients, report the following HCPCS Level II codes, as appropriate: - G0102 Prostate cancer screening; digital rectal examination - G0103 Prostate cancer screening; prostate-specific antigen test (PSA) The ICD-10 diagnosis code to support either screening is Z12.5 Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of prostate.

This allows the procedure to be covered and the provider to be reimbursed. Current Procedural Terminology codes were first developed by the American Medical Association in the 1960s as a means for the medical field to use standardized terms to document procedures and services in medical records. There are just under 10,000 different 6-digit CPT codes ranging between 00100 and 99499. While the codes are comprised of six digits, two-digit modifying codes may also be added to provide more clarification on the specifics of a procedure or service. Two or more codes are sometimes needed to describe an entire procedure or services, as one code may only describe part of a procedure.

CPT
The other tests described below do not have specific CPT codes. If the test result is calculated using an algorithm and reported as a numeric score(s) or as a probability, the unlisted multianalyte assays with algorithmic analyses code 81599 would be reported. If not, the unlisted molecular pathology code 81479 would be reported. BlueCard/National Account Issues State or federal mandates (e.g., FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity.

Daily Hospital Management Of Epidural Or Subarachnoid Continuous Drug Administration
HCPCS
With appropriate training from an accredited education program, professional medical billers and certified medical coders navigate these issues every day as part of their workday routine. It is a rewarding career, and it is an essential part of the healthcare industry. Medical billing and medical coding are based on the Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System (HCPCS), the foundation of how medical claims are submitted to commercial health insurers and government healthcare programs. The Healthcare Portability and Protection Act of 1996 (HIPPA) mandated that all healthcare claims be reported using HCPCS. Medical billers ensure that all healthcare claims are compliant with HIPPA through the accurate application of medical codes based on the documentation in the patient’s medical record, and based on the standards established by HCPCS.
