Coverage indications
CMS has determined that ICD-9-CM code V72.84, Pre-operative examination, unspecified, does not flow from the narrative indications in the national coverage determination (NCD) for urine culture and serum iron studies. We have concluded that the code was placed on the list of "ICD-9-CM Codes Covered by Medicare" erroneously. We intend to remove it in an upcoming modification of the laboratory edit module for implementing the negotiated laboratory NCDs.
Codes in this policy

Backwork has no codes on record for this policy. Check the source.
