`C94.22`, Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, in relapse

ICD-10-CM

Prior Authorization

No Prior Auth Required

Covered without prior authorization by at least one policy, though another does not cover it (medium confidence)

Documentation Required

Providers must maintain patient weight in kilograms, ESA units administered per kilogram, and medical justification for any ESA doses exceeding usual doses.
The medical record must include the ordering provider's assessment related to the visit complaint, relevant medical history, results of pertinent tests/procedures, and a signed and dated office visit record or operative report.
For all patients receiving ESAs the medical record must document hemoglobin (Hgb) or hematocrit (Hct) and evidence of adequate iron stores.

Key Coverage Criteria

Administration of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) billed with HCPCS J0881, J0882, J0885, J0886, Q4081, Q5105, or Q5106 for patients with anemia related to ESRD, chronic kidney disease (CKD), chemotherapy, radiation, or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), when the use meets the coverage criteria in the applicable LCD.
Use of ESAs for chemotherapy-induced, radiation-induced, or non-chemo/non-radiation anemia should be identified on non-ESRD claims by reporting modifier EA (chemo-induced), EB (radio-induced), or EC (non-chemo/radio).
ESA administration may qualify as a Home Health service only when the beneficiary is receiving the ESA for a covered indication specified in the LCD.
CPT codes 64400-64530 for peripheral nerve blocks may be reported on the date of surgery when performed for postoperative pain management only if the operative anesthesia is general anesthesia, subarachnoid injection, or epidural injection and the adequacy of intraoperative anesthesia is not dependent on the peripheral nerve block.
Peripheral nerve block services that are separate, medically necessary services which cannot be rendered by the surgeon may be reported if the surgeon documents the reason for referral and the additional services are justified in the medical record.
Bill this policy's procedures when submitting claims for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) lab-developed tests (LDTs) for myeloid malignancies or suspected myeloid malignancies.
