The Importance of Diagnosis Codes

INTRODUCTION

In today's regulated healthcare climate, diagnosis codes are mandatory. When

requisitions arrive without a valid and covered code or a signed waiver (if

necessary), the Lab might not be reimbursed for our services. Please assist us

by providing this required information at the time you order the test. if you have

any questions regarding this issue, please contact your service representative

or your billing coordinator.

The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 requires physicians to provide diagnostic or

other medical information when ordering services furnished by another entity in

order for payment to be made to the entity furnishing the service. Tri-Cities

Laboratory (TCL) is not allowed to determine what code should be used for the

laboratory services. Only the ordering physician/authorized provider is

authorized to determine the reason that the test is ordered. TCL is also not

allowed to routinely accept orders where Advance Beneficiary Notices (ABNs)

are not collected when necessary, or routinely write off tests where an ABN is

not obtained. This may be considered "inducement" under government

regulations. However, to assist the physician's office in determining whether an

ABN may be needed, TCL provides ABN assistance through our website

www.tricitieslab.com which will help the physician's staff to determine whether

an ABN is required. In addition, TCL provides electronic access to National and

Local Coverage Decision (NCD and LCD) information.

We are pleased to provide various tools designed to help you. These include

staff training, waiver (ABN) forms, waiting room signs, etc.

1 April 2013

� When ordering Medication Levels it is still necessary to provide a medically

necessary diagnosis, symptom or “med monitoring” code (V58.61, V58.69�).

Although it may be obvious that the patient is on medication, Medicare does not allow

turning a test order into an ICD-9 code.

Key Points for Diagnosis Coding

� All requisitions must provide proof of “medical necessity” for each test ordered in the

form of ICD-9 codes, narrative diagnoses or symptoms.

� If the alpha-numeric “ICD-9” code is not known, a narrative diagnosis (full

description or abbreviation) may be written on the requisition.

Example: If the patient's chart indicates atrial fibrillation, but the ICD-9 (427.31) is not known, writing“A-

Fib” on the requisition is acceptable.

**IMPORTANT NOTE: If the patient has Medicare coverage and a Limited Coverage Test is ordered,

the patient will have to sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) if only a narrative is provided.

� Diagnosis codes can either be actual diagnoses, current symptoms or abnormal test

results.

Example: The patient has been diagnosed w/ hypothyroidism and the provider orders a TSH,

hypothyroidism (244.9) would be the appropriate diagnosis (ICD-9) assigned.

Example: The patient has been experiencing fatigue and weight gain. The provider wants to run a TSH

to see if the patient is hypothyroid. In this case, fatigue (780.79) and weight gain (783.1) would be the

appropriate narratives or codes to assign.

Example: The patient’s lab results come back w/ an elevated glucose (790.29), a low HCT (285.9) and

an abnormality of their UA (791.9). As a result, the provider adds on a Glycohemoglobin (HgbA1C), an

Iron or Ferritin and a Urine Culture. Therefore the “medical necessity” is proven in the abnormal labs (be

specific), not the original diagnosis. This, again, can be given as either a narrative diagnosis or an ICD-

9 code.

� “RULE OUT”, “POSSIBLE” or “SUSPECTED” are not codeable descriptions.

In the above example, rather than considering "ruling out" hypothyroidism, the symptoms which are

causing the provider to believe that this might be the problem, i.e. fatigue and weight gain, should be

provided.

� V58.61 is for anticoagulant monitoring and V58.69 is for monitoring of other

medications. These codes are acceptable by Medicare, but they cannot be

interchanged.

Documentation Guidelines for Medicare Services

This article is being revised and reprinted from "Medicare B News," Issue 236 dated

April 17, 2007, to ensure that the Noridian Adminstrative Services (NAS) provider and

supplier community has access to recent publications that contain the most current,

accurate and effective information available.

Medical records should be complete, legible, and include the following information:

• Reason for encounter, relevant history, findings, test results, and date of service.

• Assessment and impression of diagnosis.

• Plan of care with date and legible identity of the observer.

• Documentation that supports that the rendering/billing provider indicated on the claim

is the healthcare professional providing the service. (*Note)

• Records should not only substantiate the service performed, but also the required

level of care.

If the physician uses a scribe (an individual taking notes), the scribe needs to fully sign

the note, with their own credentials, followed by the physician’s signature and

credentials.

We, as the Laboratory, perform tests requested for your patients who have Medicare.

We are required, by law, to provide documentation if requested by the Comprehensive

Error Rate Testing (CERT) program by CMS. CERT reviews claims, on a post-

payment review of claims, submitted by our laboratory. These claims could be audited

for documentation to support the rendering/billing provider indicated on the claim.

During the audit process, if documentation is needed, the physician or supplier (lab)

must provide the required documentation within the deadlines stipulated in the written

request from CERT.

The lab receives these CERT requests and must request patient records, progress

notes, etc. from the physician’s office and/or clinic. Therefore, it is critical for each

office/clinic to understand that we have time limits to receive this information and must

respond to Medicare within the timeframe given to the laboratory. Upon receipt of

documentation, CERT reviews the claims and medical records from the

providers/suppliers who submitted the claims, reviewing the claims for compliance

with Medicare coverage, coding, and billing rules.

Below are the guidelines from Medicare to assist in documentation and provide

guidance to follow when ordering Laboratory tests.

Documentation Requests, Medicare Billing

6 April 2013

Documentation Requests, Medicare Billing

By law, Medicare contractors [Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) Part B

Carriers and Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) Part A Fiscal Intermediaries]

can review any information, including medical records, pertaining to a Medicare claim.

Providers billing Medicare for their services must act in accordance with the following

conditions:

• Document in appropriate office records and/or hospital records each time a covered

Medicare service is provided or ordered. In the case of laboratory test orders, the

exact name of the test(s) being ordered needs to be in the patient's medical record.

When providing concurrent care for hospital or custodial care facility patients,

physicians should identify their specialty in order to help support the necessity. Write

medical information legibly and sign each entry with a legible signature, or ensure that

the provider’s/author’s/observer’s identity is present and legible.

Medical information should be clear, concise, and reflect the patient's condition.

Sign progress notes for hospital and custodial care facility patients with all entries

dated and signed by the healthcare provider who actually examined the patient.

Provide sufficient detail to support diagnostic tests that were furnished and the level of

care billed.

Do not use statements such as “same as above” or ditto marks (“). This is not

acceptable documentation that the service was provided on that date. The “burden of

proof” remains with the provider to substantiate services and/or supplies billed to

Medicare. During the audit process, if documentation is needed, the physician or

supplier must provide the required documentation within the deadlines stipulated in

* Note: Medicare needs to identify primary physicians/practitioners of a service not

only for use in standard claims transactions, but also for review, fraud detection, and

planning policies. In order to accomplish this, NAS (Noridian Administration Services)

must be able to determine and verify the rendering physician/practitioner for each

outpatient service billed to Medicare. It is very important that the individual(s)

performing a billed service is/are identified.

7 April 2013

Tests Not Medically Necessary

Tests that are not medically necessary for a diagnosis or

condition - in Medicare's opinion - are not covered.

Laboratory tests that are specifically excluded by the Medicare

program. (e.g., General Health Panels)

Experimental ("Investigational") Tests

Tests designated by the manufacturer as "for research or

investigational use," and thus considered experimental or

investigational, are also not covered by Medicare.

Tests Performed Too Frequently

Tests that are performed more frequently than is

recommended by Medicare are not covered.

Laboratory tests for which Medicare has established either a

National Coverage Decision (NCD) or for which a Medicare

Administrative Contractor (MAC) has established a Local

Coverage Decision (LCD).

Advance Beneficiary Notice, Medicare Billing

An Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) should be obtained

whenever a provider has reason to believe a procedure could

be denied as not reasonable and necessary. Generally,

services necessitating a signed ABN are those that are

payable in some instances, but not payable in others. These

can include:

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (OBRA)

included a limitation of liability (or waiver of liability) provision

that provided beneficiaries with protection from liability when

they, in good faith, receive services from a Medicare provider

for which Medicare payment is subsequently denied as not

"reasonable and necessary."

Screening Tests

Tests that might be ordered as part of a routine exam (when

the patient does not exhibit evidence of a particular disease)

are not covered.

Please provide an ICD-9

code for each test

ordered for Medicare

patients.

Advance Beneficiary Notice, Medicare Billing

Please provide the laboratory with a valid Advance

Beneficiary Notice when you have reason to believe

Medicare may deny a procedure as 'medically

unnecessary.'

Medicare is very specific about what elements are required on

an ABN for it to be considered valid. Absence of any of the

required elements invalidates that ABN and is the same as no

ABN at all. Medicare is also very specific about format and

appearance of the ABN. Please take a moment to review the

ABN that follows. The following must be completed on each

ABN obtained:

Patient Name

Date of Birth or other unique identifier as Identification

Number. Must not use Medicare numbers (HICNs) or SSN.

The procedure for obtaining a Medicare waiver (ABN) is based

on the current list of tests for which Medicare requires an

ICD9 code to consider payment. Please refer to the "Current

Lab Services That Require Proof of Medical Necessity" list. Do

not obtain a Medicare waiver (ABN) for every Medicare

patient, but only for those who may be held liable for the

service.

Patient must date the ABN.

The reason these tests may be denied must be listed in the

appropriate column.

The estimated cost of the test(s), to the best of your

knowledge, must be provided in the appropriate column.

Once the information is recorded, ask the patient to read, and

then check Option 1, Option 2, and or Option 3. The patient

must do this.

Patient must sign the ABN.

Medicare may deny a procedure as 'medically

unnecessary.'

TCL provides ABN assistance through our website

www.tricitieslab.com. This program will determine if an ABN

is necessary without the need to look through a book or

manual. How to use it:

Go to our website and click on ABN Request.

Select the entity where the testing will be performed. The Bill

Class field should automatically populate with the appropriate

code for that entity.

Enter our workpar (or ?test name, if unknown) for each and

every test the provider has ordered in the first box. Separate

the workpars with a comma or vertical bar leaving no spaces

between characters.

Specific tests the patient was advised could be denied must

be listed in the appropriate column.

In the second box, enter the ICD-9 codes provided on the

requisition, using the same separators with no spaces

between characters.

Click on the Medical Necessity button. The program will

inform you if the test/s require an ABN. If required, an ABN

must be printed out.

Enter the patient’s name and date of birth into the appropriate

fields and click on the Generate Printable ABN button. The

ABN will have the patient’s name, date of birth, and the cost of

the testing listed.

Print out the ABN and explain it to the patient.

Hospital Manual-Section 295.1, 301-301.2 January 1999

References

Medicare Part B 1999 Basic Billing Manual

Medicare Secondary Payer

Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) refers to those instances in

which Medicare does not have the primary responsibility for

paying the medical expenses for a Medicare beneficiary.

All Providers should screen Medicare patients to obtain

correct and current health insurance information before

submitting a primary claim to Medicare.

By completing the MSP Questionnaire to initially screen your

Medicare patients, you will help reduce costs to the Medicare

Program as well as administrative costs to your practice.

Requisitions provided to the laboratory should reflect accurate

patient insurance information, including screening for

Medicare Secondary Payer. Laboratory Patient Service Center

employees will provide Medicare Secondary Payer screening

when performing phlebotomy on Medicare beneficiaries.

Physician offices that are unable to provide Medicare

Secondary Payer screening are encouraged to direct their

patients to our Patient Service Centers for this vital

requirement of the Medicare Program.

Vitamin D Limitations, Regence Billing

Regence has implemented a VITAMIN D testing policy and has greatly reduced the

number of ICD9 codes that they will now cover. This is effective September 1, 2011.

It is the provider’s responsibility to select diagnosis codes carried out to the highest level

of specificity and selected from the ICD-9-CM code book appropriate to the year in which

the service is rendered for the claim(s) submitted.

Regence's VITAMIN D policy should be retained as a reference, but remember that every

code provided on the lab order must be substantiated in the patient’s chart.

If a VITAMIN D test is ordered for a reason that is not considered “medically necessary”

by Regence, the “Non-covered Services Waiver Form” must be provided to and signed by

the patient.

CPT 86709 Hepatitis A antibody (HAAb); IgM antibody

UHC has implemented a Hepatitis Screening testing policy and has greatly reduced the

number of ICD9 codes that they will now cover. This is effective April 1, 2012.

It is the provider’s responsibility to select diagnosis codes carried out to the highest level

of specificity and selected from the ICD-9-CM code book appropriate to the year in which

the service is rendered for the claim(s) submitted.

UHC's Hepatitis Screening policy should be retained as a reference, but remember that

every code provided on the lab order must be substantiated in the patient’s chart.

United’s policy can be reviewed in its entirety at:

Monitoring Patient Medications: If monitoring the patient’s medication, the “med

monitoring” ICD-9 codes (V58.61 - V58.69) are to be used as secondary diagnosis

codes only. Per DSHS, the reason for the medication use must be given as the

primary ICD-9 code.

Guidelines, Washington Public Assistance/DSHS

Preventative Physicals: DSHS only covers preventative physicals for children up to

the age of 18. DSHS does not cover preventative physicals for adults.

Family Planning Only Coverage: DSHS will only cover services associated with

contraception (ICD-9 codes V25.0-V25.9, except V25.3).

Pap Smears: DSHS will cover one routine Pap smear per patient, per calendar year.

DSHS considers routine Pap smears to be those billed with an ICD-9 code of V76.2,

V72.31, V76.47, or V25.40 - V25.49.

“Screening” Testing: DSHS does not cover screening lab work. Therefore, an actual

diagnosis or symptom ICD-9 code must be provided for all lab work to prove medical

necessity.

Prenatal Care: If a patient is being seen for prenatal care , and lab work is ordered,

the diagnosis codes V22.0 (patient’s 1st

pregnancy) & V22.1 (any subsequent

pregnancy) are acceptable per DSHS, but V22.2 is not.

HIV tests: DSHS only covers following ICD-9 codes:

042 - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

079.53 - Human immunodeficiency virus, type 2 (HIV-2)

V01.79 - Contact or exposure to other viral diseases

V08 - Asymptomatic HIV infection status

V22.0, V22.1- Pregnancy

V28.89-Other Specified Antenatal Screening

therapy due to inadequate initial patient response to dietary or pharmacologic

therapy, more frequent total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and

triglyceride testing may be indicated.

* After treatment goals are established: LDL cholesterol or total cholesterol may

be measured three times yearly.

Non-covered ICD-9-CM Codes for All NCD Edits, Medicare Billing

Per Medicare: This section lists codes that are never covered. If a code from this section

is given as the reason for the test, the test may be billed to the Medicare beneficiary

without billing Medicare first because the service is not covered by statute, in most

instances because it is performed for screening purposes and is not within an exception.

The beneficiary, however, does have a right to have the claim submitted to Medicare,

upon request.

The individual ICD-9-CM codes included in code ranges in the table below can be viewed

on CMS’ website under Downloads: Lab Code List. The link is:

* Per Medicare, www.cms.gov, it is not considered reasonable and necessary to perform glycated

hemoglobin tests more often than every three months on a controlled diabetic patient to determine

whether the patient's metabolic control has been on average within the target range. It is not

considered reasonable and necessary for these tests to be performed more frequently than once a

month for diabetic pregnant women. Testing for uncontrolled type one or two diabetes mellitus may

require testing more than four times a year. Refer to CMS guidelines for the clinical basis for those

situations in which testing more frequently than four times per annum is indicated. Medical

necessity documentation must support such testing in excess of the above guidelines.
