Medical documentation supporting reasonable and necessary determination for additional sessions must be included (examples: recent hospital records, office visit notes, dialysis progress notes, MCP visits) when billing 90999 KX.
Follow the WPS GHA LCD L37537 for full documentation requirements and utilization guidelines for frequency of hemodialysis.
