Prior Authorization

No Prior Auth Required

Key Coverage Criteria

Anti-neoplastic (chemotherapy) agent CPT/HCPCS codes may be used to bill for administration of these drugs when given to treat non-oncologic (noncancer) diagnoses if the drug is medically necessary for the patient’s condition and consistent with the standard of medical practice.
Monoclonal antibody agents and other biologic response modifiers may be administered and billed using chemotherapy administration codes for noncancer indications when the dose, route, and clinical use are appropriate and medically necessary.
CPT 94762 is medically necessary when intermittent arterial blood gas sampling is likely to miss important variations in the patient's respiratory status.
CPT 94762 is medically necessary when the patient has hypoxemia and there is a need to assess supplemental oxygen requirements and/or a therapeutic oxygen regimen.
Respiratory pathogen panel testing is covered when performed in an outpatient, non-institutional Part B setting from a single biologic specimen on a single date of service and the order is not a reflex test.
Respiratory pathogen panel testing is covered when the medical record documents that the testing facility can deliver timely results and that the test results can reasonably be expected to change clinical management and improve patient health outcomes.
