CMS National Coverage Policy

N/A

Article Guidance

Article Text

This article gives guidance for billing, coding, and other guidelines in relation to local coverage policy L34056-Urodynamics.

 

General Guidelines for Claims submitted to Part A or Part B MAC:

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.

 

Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (ABN) Modifier Guidelines

An ABN may be used for services which are likely to be non-covered, whether for medical necessity or for other reasons. Refer to CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 30, for complete instructions.

Effective from April 1, 2010, non-covered services should be billed with modifier –GA, -GX, -GY, or –GZ, as appropriate.

The –GA modifier (“Waiver of Liability Statement Issued as Required by Payer Policy”) should be used when physicians, practitioners, or suppliers want to indicate that they anticipate that Medicare will deny a specific service as not reasonable and necessary and they do have an ABN signed by the beneficiary on file. Modifier GA applies only when services will be denied under reasonable and necessary provisions, sections 1862(a)(1), 1862(a)(9), 1879(e), or 1879(g) of the Social Security Act. Effective April 1, 2010, Part A MAC systems will automatically deny services billed with modifier GA. An ABN, Form CMS-R-131, should be signed by the beneficiary to indicate that ‎he/she accepts responsibility for payment.‎ The -GA modifier may also be used on assigned claims when a patient refuses to sign the ABN and the latter is properly witnessed. For claims submitted to the Part A MAC, occurrence code 32 and the date of the ABN is required.

 

Modifier GX (“Notice of Liability Issued, Voluntary Under Payer Policy”) should be used when the beneficiary has signed an ABN, and a denial is anticipated based on provisions other than medical necessity, such as statutory exclusions of coverage or technical issues. An ABN is not required for these denials, but if non-covered services are reported with modifier GX, will automatically be denied services.

 

The –GZ modifier should be used when physicians, practitioners, or suppliers want to indicate that they expect that Medicare will deny an item or service as not reasonable and necessary and they have not had an ABN signed by the beneficiary. ‎If the service is statutorily non-covered, or without a benefit category, submit the ‎appropriate CPT/HCPCS code with the -GY modifier. An ABN is not required for these denials, and the limitation of liability does not apply for beneficiaries. Services with modifier GY will automatically deny.

Documentation Requirements

The patient’s medical record should include but is not limited to:

  • The assessment of the patient by the ordering provider as it relates to the complaint of the patient for that visit,
  • Relevant medical history
  • Results of pertinent tests/procedures
  • Signed and dated office visit record/operative report (Please note that all services ordered or rendered to Medicare beneficiaries must be signed.)

Cystometrogram, simple/complex (CPT code 51725/51726)
is used to evaluate detrusor contractions and abnormalities of bladder compliance, to measure post-voiding residual, to determine bladder capacity and to detect DSD (detrusor sphincter dyssynergia). Normal results are expected in stress incontinence.
Complex cystometrogram involves the use of calibrated electronic equipment to measure intra-abdominal, total bladder, and true detrusor pressures simultaneously. Its purpose is to differentiate an involuntary detrusor contraction or reversed bladder compliance from an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. False positives may be a problem, especially in the elderly.

Uroflowmetry, simple/complex (CPT code 51736/51741)
measures the urine flow rate visually, electronically or with the use of a disposable unit. The flow rate reflects the combined activity of the detrusor muscle, bladder neck, and urethral function. Decreased flow rate may be due to poor detrusor function from, for example, neurologic lesions, obstructing BPH, or cystocele. Increased flow rate may indicate poor urethral function causing, for example, stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or intrinsic sphincter dysfunction (ISD).

Urethral pressure profile studies (CPT code 51727)
measure resting and dynamic pressures along the length of the urethra responsible for maintaining continence. This test has limited applications, e.g. artificial urinary sphincter. Urethral pressure studies should be reserved for those patients in whom other tests are inconclusive. The test is performed to rule out severe urethral incompetence.

Stimulus Evoked Response (CPT code 51792)
has a limited application in practical urology but can be used to evaluate cases of suspected cauda equina syndrome.

Voiding Pressure Studies (VP) (CPT code 51728/51729)
can measure detrusor contractility and detect outlet pressure obstruction if the patient is able to void. Simultaneous measurement of detrusor and urethral pressures during voiding is especially helpful in diagnosing urodynamic obstruction.

Intra-abdominal Voiding Pressure (AP) (CPT code 51797)
can contribute to the evaluation of true detrusor muscle function by accounting for any component of intra-abdominal pressure in the bladder pressure voiding curve.

Bill type codes only apply to providers who bill these services to the Part A MAC. Bill type codes do not apply to physicians, other professionals and suppliers who bill these services to the carrier or Part B MAC.

Each claim must be submitted with ICD-10-CM codes that reflect the condition of the patient, and indicate the reason(s) for which the service was performed. Claims submitted without ICD-10-CM codes will be returned.

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.

Documentation must be available to Medicare upon request.

ICD-10-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity

Group 1

(339 Codes)
Group 1 Paragraph

It is the responsibility of the provider to code to the highest level specified in the ICD-10-CM. The correct use of an ICD-10-CM code 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 this determination.

Bill Type Codes

Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type. Complete absence of all Bill Types indicates that coverage is not influenced by Bill Type and the article should be assumed to apply equally to all claims.

Revenue Codes

Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination. Complete absence of all Revenue Codes indicates that coverage is not influenced by Revenue Code and the article should be assumed to apply equally to all Revenue Codes.

Revenue codes only apply to providers who bill these services to the Part A MAC. Revenue codes do not apply to physicians, other professionals and suppliers who bill these services to the carrier or Part B MAC.

Please note that not all revenue codes apply to every type of bill code. Providers are encouraged to refer to the FISS revenue code file for allowable bill types. Similarly, not all revenue codes apply to each CPT/HCPCS code. Providers are encouraged to refer to the FISS HCPCS file for allowable revenue codes.
