Serum Iron Studies (Expansion of the Chronic Renal Failure Covered Codes to Include Hypertensive Renal Disease)

CMS CAL document | source_status=Closed | review_type=New | public_comment_open=False | document_id=CAG-00194N

CMS has determined that ICD-9-CM codes 403.01, 403.11, 403.91, 404.02, 404.03, 404.12, 404.13, 404.92, and 404.93 flow from the existing narrative for conditions for which serum iron testing is reasonable and necessary. We intend to modify the NCD for serum iron studies to include these codes in the list of ICD-9-CM codes covered by Medicare for this service.
