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

Claims must be supported by medical record documentation of the patient’s diagnosis/clinical condition and justification that the selected drug, dose, and route of administration are appropriate and medically necessary for the non-oncologic indication.
Billing must comply with Medicare rules and any applicable LCD prior authorization or documentation requirements; follow any specific forms or prior authorization processes required by the LCD or payer.
Medical record must document reasonable and necessary basis for ESA therapy, including that Hb/HCT values, dose and route of administration, and that ESA use is appropriate for the individualized patient.

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.
ESA therapy is indicated for anemia due to decreased erythropoietin production or relative erythropoietin resistance, e.g., anemia of chronic renal failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
ESA therapy is indicated to maintain hematologic targets with typical goals of hematocrit 30.0-36.0% (hemoglobin 10.0-12.0 g/dL) and the medical record should document rationale for dose changes or values outside these ranges.
ESA therapy may be considered for other chronic conditions not specifically addressed by this policy when the patient demonstrates considerable transfusion dependence and anemia-related symptoms and documentation supports reasonable and necessary use.
Fluorescein angiography with interpretation is medically necessary as an adjunct to diagnosis of chorioretinal vascular abnormalities, especially choroidal neovascularization, noninfective vasculitis, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
