Medical record must contain documentation supporting medical necessity, including relevant medical history, physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures.
Each claim must be submitted with ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) that describe the patient's condition and reasons for the service; claims without a valid ICD-10-CM code will be returned as incomplete.
For services requiring a referring/ordering physician, the name and NPI of the referring/ordering physician must be reported on the claim.
If initial assessment or reassessment is completed over multiple encounters, the date of service should be the date the interview was finalized on the claim.
