Article Guidance

Article Text

This Billing and Coding Article provides billing and coding guidance for Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L39063 Pharmacogenomics Testing. Please refer to the LCD for reasonable and necessary requirements.

Laboratory tests that investigate the same germline genetic content, for the same genetic information, that has already been tested in the same Medicare beneficiary is duplicative and should not be reported.

Examples of germline tests include (but are not limited to) single gene and specific gene panel tests for: hereditary cancer syndromes or cancer predisposition, inherited disorders, and pharmacogenomics/cytochrome P450 testing.

Providers should take reasonable measures to be aware of what, if any, germline testing a beneficiary has had prior to billing for germline testing so as to avoid billing Medicare for services that are not medically reasonable and necessary. Clinicians who order germline testing may wish to be aware of whether the test that they are ordering is covered under Medicare and may wish to verify that they are not ordering repeat germline testing.

Germline testing, including panels containing some genetic content already tested in the same Medicare beneficiary, may be considered medically reasonable and necessary if there is established clinical utility in the remaining, non-duplicative genetic components of the test.

Coding Guidance

Notice:
It is not appropriate to bill Medicare for services that are not covered (as described by the entire LCD) as if they are covered. When billing for non-covered services, use the appropriate modifier.

CPT codes 81355 (VKORC1) and 81227 (CYP2C9) are not considered medically reasonable and necessary for warfarin testing. Please refer to the CMS IOM Publication 100-03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations (NCD) Manual, Chapter 1, Part 2, Section 90.1 Pharmacogenomic Testing to Predict Warfarin Responsiveness.

If a treating clinician orders a single gene test or a test for a particular allele(s), but as a matter of operational practicality, the laboratory tests that single gene or allele on a platform that looks for variants in other genes/alleles as well, that particular test done in that particular instance is considered a single gene/allele test for coverage purposes. In this scenario the provider may bill for the component of the test that was medically reasonable and necessary (in this example, the single gene test).

Genes can be assayed serially or in parallel. Genes assayed on the same date of service are considered to be assayed in parallel if the result of one assay does not affect the decision to complete the assay on another gene, and the two genes are being tested for the same indication. Genes assayed on the same date of service are considered to be assayed serially when there is a reflexive decision component where the results of the analysis of one or more genes determines whether the results of additional analyses are medically reasonable and necessary. If two or more genes are tested, please refer to the Molecular Pathology and Genetic Testing Article A58917 for multi-gene testing.

When billing Part B claims, the drug or drugs in consideration for use that require the use of the PHARMACOGENOMICS (PGx) test must be submitted in the applicable detail line 2400 loop.

When billing CPT code 81418, the following information should be provided:

  • List the names of the specific genes that are tested in addition to genes CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 in the comment/narrative field for the following claim field/types:
    • Part A Claims:
      • Loop SV202-7 for the 837I electronic claim
      • Block 80 for the UB04 claim form
    • Part B Claims:
      • Loop 2400 or SV101-7 for the 5010A1 837P
      • Box 19 for the paper claim

NOTE: Testing MUST be for at least 6 genes per the CPT code descriptor for 81418: Drug metabolism (e.g., pharmacogenomics) genomic sequence analysis panel, must include testing of at least 6 genes, including CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP2D6 duplication/deletion analysis

The following 2 tables represent relevant gene/drug associations. Table 1 is from CPIC and Table 2 is from FDA sources.

The CPT codes relevant to the related LCD are listed in the coding section below. If no CPT code is available for the gene(s) being tested, the unlisted molecular pathology procedure code 81479 should be used as indicated below.

Utilization Parameters

Germline testing may be performed once in a lifetime per beneficiary.

Documentation Requirements

    1. All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request.
    2. Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information (e.g., complete name, dates of service[s]). The documentation must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the care to the patient.
    3. The submitted medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s). The submitted CPT/HCPCS code must describe the service performed.
    4. The provider performing the service must have a record of what drug(s) is/are being considered and for what indication to ensure the test performed is medically reasonable and necessary.
    5. The clinical record must clearly show the use of or intent to prescribe a drug that has known drug-gene interactions that require a PGx test to be ordered to define the safe use of that drug in that patient.


Coding Information

When more than two codes from this list are submitted for the same beneficiary on the same date of service, the claims processing system will deny every code submitted after the first two services. However, if a lab runs more than two distinct procedural services from this list on a single date of service, then the lab must use the 59 modifier with each additional service billed as an attestation that it is a distinct procedural service. Billing the 59 modifier may result in a request for medical records.

The molecular pathology codes include all analytical services performed during the test (e.g., cell lysis, nucleic acid stabilization, extraction, digestion, amplification, and detection).

Code Description
59 DISTINCT PROCEDURAL SERVICE: UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THE PHYSICIAN MAY NEED TO INDICATE THAT A PROCEDURE OR SERVICE WAS DISTINCT OR INDEPENDENT FROM OTHER SERVICES PERFORMED ON THE SAME DAY. MODIFIER -59 IS USED TO IDENTIFY PROCEDURES/SERVICES THAT ARE NOT NORMALLY REPORTED TOGETHER, BUT ARE APPROPRIATE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS MAY REPRESENT A DIFFERENT SESSION OR PATIENT ENCOUNTER, DIFFERENT PROCEDURE OR SURGERY, DIFFERNET SITE OR ORGAN SYSTEM, SEPARATE INCISION/EXCISION, SEPARATE LESION, OR SEPARATE INJURY (OR AREA OF INJURY IN EXTENSIVE INJURIES) NOT ORDINARILY ENCOUNTERED OR PERFORMED ON THE SAME DAY BY THE SAME PHYSICIAN. HOWEVER, WHAN ANOTHER ALREADY ESTABLISHED MODIFIER IS APPROPRIATE IT SHOULD BE USED RATHER THAN MODIFIER -59. ONLY IF NO MORE DESCRIPTIVE MODIFIER IS AVAILABLE, AND THE USE OF MODIFIER -59 BEST EXPLAINS THE CIRCUMSTANCES, SHOULD MODIFIER -59 BE USED. MODIFIER CODE 09959 MAY BE USED AS AN ALTERNATE TO MODIFIER -59.
