Operative notes and pathology documentation must clearly show that Mohs was performed using accepted technique and that the surgeon acted in both surgical and pathology capacities.
Medical record must document location, number, and size of lesion(s); number of stages performed; and number of specimens per stage.
Histology documentation must include for the first stage: presence of tumor, depth of invasion, pathological pattern, cell morphology, and perineural invasion if present; subsequent stages must note if characteristics are same or describe differences.
Documentation must explain why the lesion will not be or was not managed by standard excision or destruction, and when applicable justify the selection of complex repair techniques (adjacent tissue transfer, flap, graft) or referral to plastic surgery.

Mohs micrographic surgery is covered when selected because the lesion's complexity (e.g., poorly defined borders, suspected deep invasion, recurrent lesion, prior radiation), size, or anatomic location requires maximal tissue conservation and other approaches (standard excision or destruction) are not medically reasonable or necessary.
Mohs surgery is considered covered when the surgeon performs both the surgical excision and the pathologic examination (surgeon acting in integrated surgical and pathology roles) as part of the Mohs technique.
Lab-developed tests for inherited cancer syndromes in patients with cancer as described in Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L39040 are the services addressed by this billing/coding guidance.
ESAs are appropriate to treat symptomatic anemia of chronic kidney disease in patients on dialysis when billed using ESRD-specific HCPCS codes (J0882, J0887, Q4081, Q5105) and documented diagnoses D63.1 and N18.6.
Non-ESRD ESA therapy for anemia due to myelosuppressive anticancer chemotherapy is indicated when billed with HCPCS codes J0881, J0885, J0888 or Q5106 with modifier EA and when the most recent hemoglobin is < 10.0 g/dL or hematocrit is < 30.0%.
All ESA administrations (ESRD and non-ESRD) must be reported with one ESA-purpose modifier (EA, EB, or EC) and one route modifier (JA, JB, or JE) on the claim to be processed rather than returned.
