Article Guidance

Article Text

This article contains coding and other guidelines that complement the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine.

Coding Information:

Procedure codes may be subject to National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits or OPPS packaging edits. Refer to NCCI and OPPS requirements prior to billing Medicare.

For services requiring a referring/ordering physician, the name and NPI of the referring/ordering physician must be reported on the claim.

A claim submitted without a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code will be returned to the provider as an incomplete claim under Section 1833(e) of the Social Security Act.

The diagnosis code(s) must best describe the patient's condition for which the service was performed. For diagnostic tests, report the result of the test if known; otherwise the symptoms prompting the performance of the test should be reported.

Documentation Requirements:

The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports the medical necessity for services included within this LCD. (See "Indications and Limitations of Coverage.") This documentation includes, but is not limited to, relevant medical history, physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures.

Medical records must substantiate the medical necessity of the services, including a clinical diagnosis and the specific reason for the study.

All segments of the service must have a formal interpretation and report.

The referral order must include the medical indication for the study, and be kept on file in the patient's medical record.

When CPT code 78472 and add-on code 78496 are submitted with perfusion codes 78451-78454, the formal reports must document that simultaneous cardiac function studies using the first pass technique were performed and that the laboratories are equipped to perform such studies.

When a blood pool scan is performed to assess ejection fraction prior to implantation of defibrillator or biventricular pacemaker, the record must document the intended plan for insertion and the result of the test.

When billing for the purchase of radiopharmaceutical(s), a copy of the bill indicating the dosage administered, unit price per dose, name and total charge of the radiopharmaceutical must be on file in the patient's medical record and available on request.

Utilization Guidelines:

Risk assessment or re-evaluation of disease in patients who are asymptomatic or have stable symptoms, with known atherosclerotic heart disease on catheterization or SPECT perfusion imaging, who have not had a revascularization procedure within the past two years would be reimbursable; otherwise tests repeated in the absence of changes in cardiac signs or symptoms will be considered not medically necessary.

ICD-10-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity

Group 1

(188 Codes)
Group 1 Paragraph

The use of an ICD-10-CM code listed below does not assure coverage of a service. The service must be reasonable and necessary in the specific case and must meet the criteria specified in the attached determination.

ICD-10-CM codes for Perfusion with or without Functional Studies: CPT codes 78451, 78452, 78453, 78454, 78472, 78473, 78481, 78483

Use ICD-10 code Z01.810 for those tests which were performed to evaluate pre-operative risk (see Indications section in the LCD) but for whom the test was negative. (A positive test should be coded with the results of the test.)

10/01/2022 R3

Due to the annual ICD-10 code updates for 2023, ICD-10 code I47.2 is deleted and replaced by I47.20, I47.21 and I47.29 in Group 1.

07/01/2021 R2

Article revised to add ICD-10 codes I47.0, I47.1, I47.2 and I47.9 to Group 1 as covered.

10/01/2019 R1

Article revised for annual ICD-10 updates for 2020. ICD-10 codes I48.11, I48.19, I48.20, and I48.21 replaced deleted codes I48.1 and I48.2 in Group 1.

The article was converted to the new Billing and Coding Article type.

Bill types and Revenue codes have been removed from this article. Guidance on these codes is available in the Bill type and Revenue code sections.
