Bill Cancer TYPE ID using CPT code 81540 (mRNA gene expression assay of 92 genes) for evaluation of tumors of unknown origin.
Coverage is allowed for targeted genomic sequence analysis panels for treatment of solid organ neoplasms when the panel is a DNA analysis panel containing at least 5 gene tests for molecular biomarkers that meet Medicare coverage criteria.
Coverage is allowed when the genomic testing is expected to influence the treatment of the condition (i.e., documentation supports that test results will affect clinical management of the solid organ neoplasm).
Genomic testing of acquired conditions such as malignancies, including separate malignancies developing at different times, is permitted when medically reasonable and necessary to assess response or other clinically relevant criteria.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is typically furnished as a single session; when more than one session is required, bill using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) codes instead of SRS codes.
Coverage on an individual (redetermination/appeal) basis may be considered for lesions that require a high radiation dose per fraction to avoid exposure of surrounding tissues when documentation and supporting literature are provided.
