ICD-10-CM

Prior Authorization

No Prior Auth Required

No active coverage policies found for this code (low confidence)

Documentation Required

Medical records must document the basis for each diagnosis and that diagnoses follow recognized standards (eg, American College of Rheumatology guidelines).
Medical records must include patient weight when needed to determine appropriate dosing.
Medical records must document evaluation for latent tuberculosis infection with a medical evaluation and TB test, and initiation of latent TB treatment prior to infliximab when indicated.

Medical records must document disease‑specific relevant symptoms and signs that are being treated and monitored to assess response to treatment.

For biologic initiation, documentation must show inadequate response (lack of efficacy, adverse effects, or contraindication) to a 3‑month trial of appropriately dosed, disease‑specific conventional (non‑biologic) therapy.

For plaque psoriasis, documentation should include percent body surface area affected, PASI score, PDI score, or other psoriasis assessment tools and documentation of planned close follow‑up; monitor for nonmelanoma skin cancer especially after prior prolonged phototherapy.

Key Coverage Criteria

Infliximab and its FDA‑approved biosimilars are covered when administered in accordance with the FDA‑approved label or recognized compendia for labeled and off‑label uses.
Covered for Crohn's disease when medical records document disease‑specific signs/symptoms (eg, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fistulae) and dosing per label or compendia; retreatment is covered if prior initial treatment produced reduction in clinical signs and symptoms.
Covered for rheumatoid arthritis when prescribed per label/compendia and medical record documents concomitant methotrexate use or a documented contraindication to methotrexate.
Covered for plaque psoriasis when documentation shows chronic, severe, extensive, or disabling disease (eg, percent BSA, PASI, or PDI) and the patient will have close physician follow‑up and monitoring.
Claims for pyoderma gangrenosum with coexisting inflammatory bowel disease are covered when the claim includes both primary and secondary ICD‑10‑CM diagnosis codes documenting pyoderma gangrenosum and IBD.
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.
