Coverage indications
CMS has determined that ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 790.5, Other nonspecific abnormal serum enzyme levels, does not flow from the existing narrative for conditions for which a Hepatitis Panel/Acute Hepatitis Panel of tests is reasonable and necessary. Consequently, ICD-9-CM code, 790.5 shall remain on the list of“ICD-9-CM Codes That Do Not Support Medical Necessity.” Tests on this list may be covered when they are accompanied by additional documentation that supports a determination of reasonable and necessary.
Codes in this policy
