No Prior Auth Required

Code is covered without prior authorization (high confidence)

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.
For services requiring a referring/ordering physician, the claim must report the referring/ordering physician's name and NPI.
A valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code that best describes the patient's condition for which the service was performed must be reported on the claim; claims without a valid code will be returned as incomplete.

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.
MRA is covered to evaluate blood flow in the internal carotid vessels of the head and neck.
MRA of peripheral arteries of the lower extremities is covered to determine the presence and extent of peripheral vascular disease and may substitute for conventional angiography (CA).
MRA is covered for pre-operative evaluation of patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair when it is comparable to CA for determining extent of AAA and evaluating aortoiliac occlusive disease and renal artery pathology necessary for surgical planning.
MRA of the renal arteries and aortoiliac arteries (in the absence of AAA or aortic dissection) is covered when MRA is expected to avoid CA, physician history/physical and standard assessments are insufficient, and obtaining MRA has a high probability of positively affecting patient management.
