Article Guidance

Article Text

This article contains coding and other guidelines that complement the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Genomic Sequence Analysis Panels in the Treatment of Hematolymphoid Diseases.

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.

Specific Coding Guidelines:

Regarding Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN), the following guidelines apply:

Targeted genomic sequence analysis panel, hematolymphoid neoplasm, DNA analysis, and RNA analysis 5-50 genes (CPT 81450 or 81451) is a useful representation of the aggregate of these gene tests, and may be used as long as the panel contains, at a minimum, 5 or more gene tests for molecular biomarkers determined to meet Medicare coverage criteria (for example, NCCN Biomarkers Compendium Evidence Category I or 2A and associated clinical utility). The specified coverage indications are in line with NCCN recommendations. Evaluation of other genes or genomic sequences not addressed by NCCN or other professional guidelines are not precluded, but their inclusion in panels recognized by this code should not be interpreted as endorsement of such testing by genomic sequencing procedures and laboratories and users of such testing are advised to adhere to traditional regulatory and institutional oversight mechanisms to assure their clinical validity and utility.
