`N31.2`, Flaccid neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

ICD-10-CM

No Prior Auth Required

Covered without prior authorization (high confidence)

Each claim must include ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) that accurately reflect the patient's condition and the reason(s) the urodynamic service was performed.
For diagnostic urodynamic tests, report the test result if known; if results are not available at time of claim, report the symptoms that prompted the test.
When a penile pressure cuff is used during a voiding pressure study, report CPT code 55899 and note the non-invasive urodynamic study in the narrative portion of the claim.
When a referring/ordering physician is required, the referring/ordering physician's name and NPI must be reported on the claim.

Urodynamic testing is covered when medical necessity is documented consistent with the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Urodynamics.
Anorectal manometry and pelvic floor electromyography (EMG) are indicated as diagnostic tests for evaluation of anorectal or pelvic floor dysfunction (e.g., fecal incontinence or anorectal neuromuscular disorders).
Testing may be performed when documentation in the medical record supports medical necessity per the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD).
Anal or urethral sphincter EMG is medically necessary to evaluate fecal incontinence, urinary incontinence, dysfunctional bladder elimination, or interstitial cystitis when results will be used to manage the patient's condition and to identify possible underlying neurological disease.
Anorectal manometry is medically necessary to evaluate fecal incontinence or dysfunctional anorectal elimination when results will be used to manage the patient's condition, including assessment of anal sphincter pressures, rectal sensation, rectoanal reflexes, and rectal compliance.
Either diagnostic test may be indicated for pelvic floor disorders (e.g., dysfunctional voiding, incomplete bladder or rectal elimination, sexual dysfunction, pelvic floor spasticity/hypertonicity) when a thorough history and physical exam are indeterminate and diagnostic testing would aid diagnosis and management.
