    Article Guidance

    Article Text:

    MammaPrint™, an FDA cleared in vitro microarray diagnostic test that uses gene expression profiling to analyze the gene activity of the identified tumor, has been assigned a unique identifier.

    MammaPrint® is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test service, performed in a single laboratory, using the gene expression profile of FFPE breast cancer tissue samples to assess a patients' risk for distant metastasis.

    MammaPrint was prospectively validated in the 6,693 patient MINDACT trial in early stage breast cancer, <5cm up to 3 positive lymph nodes and independent of receptor status.

    To bill for MammaPrint™ services, submit the following claim information:

    • Enter “1” in the Days/Unit field
    • For CPT® non-NOC codes, Labs may either use the SV101-7 or SV202-7 (preferred) or the NTE field to submit this required information.
      • Enter the appropriate DEX Z-Code™ identifier adjacent to the CPT® code in the comment/narrative field for the following Part B claim field/types:
        • Loop 2400 or SV101-7 for the 5010A1 837P
        • Box 19 for paper claim
      • Enter the appropriate DEX Z-Code™ identifier adjacent to the CPT® code in the comment/narrative field for the following Part A claim field/types:
        • Line SV202-7 for 837I electronic claim
        • Block 80 for the UB04 claim form

    Note: MolDX expects this test may be performed upon occasion twice per patient lifetime for bilateral disease. Should a patient experience an additional occurrence, coverage may be considered with supporting documentation through the appeal process.
