`G81.93`, Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting right nondominant side

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

The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports the medical necessity for the visual fields testing in accordance with the applicable LCD.
Documentation should include relevant medical history, a physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures supporting the need for visual fields testing.
The diagnosis code(s) reported on the claim must best describe the patient's condition for which the visual fields testing was performed.

Key Coverage Criteria

Electrodiagnostic testing (EMG and/or nerve conduction studies) is indicated for evaluation of suspected carpal tunnel syndrome.
EMG and/or nerve conduction studies are indicated for evaluation of suspected radiculopathy.
EMG and/or nerve conduction studies are indicated for evaluation of suspected mononeuropathy (single-nerve entrapment or injury).
EMG and/or nerve conduction studies are indicated for evaluation of suspected polyneuropathy or mononeuropathy multiplex.
EMG is indicated for evaluation of suspected myopathy.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are indicated for evaluation of suspected motor neuropathies (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
