`Q82.9`, Congenital malformation of skin, unspecified

ICD-10-CM

Prior Authorization

No Prior Auth Required

Covered without prior authorization (high confidence)

Documentation Required

No specific documentation requirements, prior authorization, or required medical records/test results are specified in this policy bulletin.
Note: External guidance cited (NICE 2007) recommends use only in research settings (controlled trials, closely observed case series and/or contribution to a register), which would imply research documentation if used in that context, but Aetna's CPB itself does not list documentation requirements.

Key Coverage Criteria

None — Aetna considers Grenz ray therapy experimental and investigational for the treatment of dermatologic conditions because there is inadequate evidence in the published peer-reviewed medical literature regarding the effectiveness of Grenz ray therapy in the treatment of skin disorders.
