Prior Authorization

No Prior Auth Required

Covered without prior authorization (high confidence)

Documentation Required

The diagnosis code(s) billed must best describe the patient’s condition for which the SCODI service was performed.
The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports the medical necessity for SCODI services included within LCD L34380, including relevant medical history, physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures.
For services requiring a referring or ordering physician, the name and NPI of the referring/ordering physician must be reported on the claim.

If the performing provider is different from the ordering/referring physician, the performing provider must maintain hard copy test results and interpretation plus copies of the ordering/referring physician's order.

Key Coverage Criteria

Scanning computerized ophthalmic diagnostic imaging (SCODI) is covered when the service meets the medical necessity criteria and is included within Local Coverage Determination L34380.
Corneal pachymetry (measurement of corneal thickness) is covered to evaluate patients with a diagnosis of increased intraocular pressure.
Repeat corneal pachymetry is covered after interval corneal trauma or corneal surgery to reassess corneal thickness.
Corneal pachymetry is generally covered when performed as indicated by current medical literature or accepted standards of practice for clinical management.
Fundus photography is covered when medical necessity is documented in the medical record, including relevant history, exam, diagnostic test results, and retention of the photographs and an interpretation/report.
Extended ophthalmoscopy is covered when medical necessity is documented for each eye, including relevant history, physical exam, pertinent diagnostic results, and retinal drawings that meet the policy specifications.
