When requisitions arrive without a valid and covered code or a signed waiver (if necessary), the Lab might not be reimbursed for our services. Please assist us by providing this required information at the time you order the test. if you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact your service representative or your billing coordinator. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 requires physicians to provide diagnostic or other medical information when ordering services furnished by another entity in order for payment to be made to the entity furnishing the service. Colorado Laboratory Services (CLS) is not allowed to determine what code should be used for the laboratory services. Only the ordering physician/authorized provider is authorized to determine the reason that the test is ordered. CLS is also not allowed to routinely accept orders where Advance Beneficiary Notices (ABNs) are not collected when necessary, or routinely write off tests where an ABN is not obtained. This may be considered "inducement" under government regulations. However, to assist the physician's office in determining whether an ABN may be needed, CLS provides ABN assistance through our website www.clslaboratory.com which will help the physician's staff to determine whether an ABN is required. In addition, CLS provides electronic access to National and Local Coverage Decision (NCD and LCD) information. We are pleased to provide various tools designed to help you. These include staff training, waiver (ABN) forms, waiting room signs, etc. 1 April 2013 Key Points for Diagnosis Coding All requisitions must provide proof of “medical necessity” for each test ordered in the form of ICD-9 codes, narrative diagnoses or symptoms. If the alpha-numeric “ICD-9” code is not known, a narrative diagnosis (full description or abbreviation) may be written on the requisition. Example: If the patient's chart indicates atrial fibrillation, but the ICD-9 (427.31) is not known, writing“AFib” on the requisition is acceptable. **IMPORTANT NOTE: If the patient has Medicare coverage and a Limited Coverage Test is ordered, the patient will have to sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) if only a narrative is provided. Diagnosis codes can either be actual diagnoses, current symptoms or abnormal test results. Example: The patient has been diagnosed w/ hypothyroidism and the provider orders a TSH, hypothyroidism (244.9) would be the appropriate diagnosis (ICD-9) assigned. Example: The patient has been experiencing fatigue and weight gain. The provider wants to run a TSH to see if the patient is hypothyroid. In this case, fatigue (780.79) and weight gain (783.1) would be the appropriate narratives or codes to assign. Example: The patient’s lab results come back w/ an elevated glucose (790.29), a low HCT (285.9) and an abnormality of their UA (791.9). As a result, the provider adds on a Glycohemoglobin (HgbA1C), an Iron or Ferritin and a Urine Culture. Therefore the “medical necessity” is proven in the abnormal labs (be specific), not the original diagnosis. This, again, can be given as either a narrative diagnosis or an ICD9 code. “RULE OUT”, “POSSIBLE” or “SUSPECTED” are not codeable descriptions. In the above example, rather than considering "ruling out" hypothyroidism, the symptoms which are causing the provider to believe that this might be the problem, i.e. fatigue and weight gain, should be provided. V58.61 is for anticoagulant monitoring and V58.69 is for monitoring of other medications. These codes are acceptable by Medicare, but they cannot be interchanged. When ordering Medication Levels it is still necessary to provide a medically necessary diagnosis, symptom or “med monitoring” code (V58.61, V58.69). Although it may be obvious that the patient is on medication, Medicare does not allow turning a test order into an ICD-9 code. 2 April 2013 Medicare Billing 3 April 2013 Successful Laboratory Requisitions, Medicare Billing The following Medicare billing requirements will assist you to accurately complete laboratory requisitions. The objective is to minimize recurring phone calls to our valued clients and service center employees. Thank you for your attention to detail. When billing Medicare, the following italicized information is always required on the laboratory requisition. The additional information is essential for accurate billing. 1. Patient's full name 2. Patient's sex 3. Patient's date of birth 4. Patient's phone number 5. Patient's full address 6. Ordering provider full name 7. Ordering provider signature 8. Date and time of collection and fasting status 9. Who is to be billed (circle Medicare) 10. Patient's Social Security Number (optional) 11. Insurance ID number (Medicare HIC # + Prefix or suffix character(s)) 12. Marked Test(s) being ordered with appropriate and valid ICD9 for every test ordered 13. When indicated, a signed and dated ABN-with test(s) listed, reason(s) specified for possible denial and estimated cost of test(s) with the patient checking the option desired and the patient signing and dating the ABN. 4 April 2013 Successful Laboratory Requisitions, Medicare Billing 5 April 2013 Documentation Requests, Medicare Billing We, as the Laboratory, perform tests requested for your patients who have Medicare. We are required, by law, to provide documentation if requested by the Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) program by CMS. CERT reviews claims, on a postpayment review of claims, submitted by our laboratory. These claims could be audited for documentation to support the rendering/billing provider indicated on the claim. During the audit process, if documentation is needed, the physician or supplier (lab) must provide the required documentation within the deadlines stipulated in the written request from CERT. The lab receives these CERT requests and must request patient records, progress notes, etc. from the physician’s office and/or clinic. Therefore, it is critical for each office/clinic to understand that we have time limits to receive this information and must respond to Medicare within the timeframe given to the laboratory. Upon receipt of documentation, CERT reviews the claims and medical records from the providers/suppliers who submitted the claims, reviewing the claims for compliance with Medicare coverage, coding, and billing rules. Below are the guidelines from Medicare to assist in documentation and provide guidance to follow when ordering Laboratory tests. Documentation Guidelines for Medicare Services This article is being revised and reprinted from "Medicare B News," Issue 236 dated April 17, 2007, to ensure that the Noridian Adminstrative Services (NAS) provider and supplier community has access to recent publications that contain the most current, accurate and effective information available. Medical records should be complete, legible, and include the following information: • Reason for encounter, relevant history, findings, test results, and date of service. • Assessment and impression of diagnosis. • Plan of care with date and legible identity of the observer. • Documentation that supports that the rendering/billing provider indicated on the claim is the healthcare professional providing the service. (*Note) • Records should not only substantiate the service performed, but also the required level of care. If the physician uses a scribe (an individual taking notes), the scribe needs to fully sign the note, with their own credentials, followed by the physician’s signature and credentials. 6 April 2013 Documentation Requests, Medicare Billing * Note: Medicare needs to identify primary physicians/practitioners of a service not only for use in standard claims transactions, but also for review, fraud detection, and planning policies. In order to accomplish this, NAS (Noridian Administration Services) must be able to determine and verify the rendering physician/practitioner for each outpatient service billed to Medicare. It is very important that the individual(s) performing a billed service is/are identified. By law, Medicare contractors [Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) Part B Carriers and Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) Part A Fiscal Intermediaries] can review any information, including medical records, pertaining to a Medicare claim. Providers billing Medicare for their services must act in accordance with the following conditions: • Document in appropriate office records and/or hospital records each time a covered Medicare service is provided or ordered. In the case of laboratory test orders, the exact name of the test(s) being ordered needs to be in the patient's medical record. When providing concurrent care for hospital or custodial care facility patients, physicians should identify their specialty in order to help support the necessity. Write medical information legibly and sign each entry with a legible signature, or ensure that the provider’s/author’s/observer’s identity is present and legible. Medical information should be clear, concise, and reflect the patient's condition. Sign progress notes for hospital and custodial care facility patients with all entries dated and signed by the healthcare provider who actually examined the patient. Provide sufficient detail to support diagnostic tests that were furnished and the level of care billed. Do not use statements such as “same as above” or ditto marks (“). This is not acceptable documentation that the service was provided on that date. The “burden of proof” remains with the provider to substantiate services and/or supplies billed to Medicare. During the audit process, if documentation is needed, the physician or supplier must provide the required documentation within the deadlines stipulated in 7 April 2013 Advance Beneficiary Notice, Medicare Billing The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (OBRA) included a limitation of liability (or waiver of liability) provision that provided beneficiaries with protection from liability when they, in good faith, receive services from a Medicare provider for which Medicare payment is subsequently denied as not "reasonable and necessary." Please provide an ICD-9 code for each test ordered for Medicare patients. An Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) should be obtained whenever a provider has reason to believe a procedure could be denied as not reasonable and necessary. Generally, services necessitating a signed ABN are those that are payable in some instances, but not payable in others. These can include: Screening Tests Tests that might be ordered as part of a routine exam (when the patient does not exhibit evidence of a particular disease) are not covered. Experimental ("Investigational") Tests Tests designated by the manufacturer as "for research or investigational use," and thus considered experimental or investigational, are also not covered by Medicare. Tests Performed Too Frequently Tests that are performed more frequently recommended by Medicare are not covered. than is Laboratory tests for which Medicare has established either a National Coverage Decision (NCD) or for which a Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) has established a Local Coverage Decision (LCD). Tests Not Medically Necessary Tests that are not medically necessary for a diagnosis or condition - in Medicare's opinion - are not covered. Laboratory tests that are specifically excluded by the Medicare program. (e.g., General Health Panels) 8 April 2013 Advance Beneficiary Notice, Medicare Billing Please provide the laboratory with a valid Advance Beneficiary Notice when you have reason to believe Medicare may deny a procedure as 'medically unnecessary.' The procedure for obtaining a Medicare waiver (ABN) is based on the current list of tests for which Medicare requires an ICD9 code to consider payment. Please refer to the "Current Lab Services That Require Proof of Medical Necessity" list. Do not obtain a Medicare waiver (ABN) for every Medicare patient, but only for those who may be held liable for the service. Medicare is very specific about what elements are required on an ABN for it to be considered valid. Absence of any of the required elements invalidates that ABN and is the same as no ABN at all. Medicare is also very specific about format and appearance of the ABN. Please take a moment to review the ABN that follows. The following must be completed on each ABN obtained: 1. Patient Name 2. Date of Birth or other unique identifier as Identification Number. Must not use Medicare numbers (HICNs) or SSN. 3. Specific tests the patient was advised could be denied must be listed in the appropriate column. 4. The reason these tests may be denied must be listed in the appropriate column. 5. The estimated cost of the test(s), to the best of your knowledge, must be provided in the appropriate column. 6. Once the information is recorded, ask the patient to read, and then check Option 1, Option 2, and or Option 3. The patient must do this. 7. Patient must sign the ABN. 8. Patient must date the ABN. 9 April 2013 Advance Beneficiary Notice, Medicare Billing 10 April 2013 The ABN Request Program Please provide the laboratory with a valid Advance Beneficiary Notice when you have reason to believe Medicare may deny a procedure as 'medically unnecessary.' CLS provides ABN assistance through our website www.clslaboratory.com.com. This program will determine if an ABN is necessary without the need to look through a book or manual. How to use it: 1. Go to our website and click on ABN Request. 2. Select the entity where the testing will be performed. The Bill Class field should automatically populate with the appropriate code for that entity. 3. Enter our workpar (or ?test name, if unknown) for each and every test the provider has ordered in the first box. Separate the workpars with a comma or vertical bar leaving no spaces between characters. 4. Specific tests the patient was advised could be denied must be listed in the appropriate column. 5. In the second box, enter the ICD-9 codes provided on the requisition, using the same separators with no spaces between characters. 6. Click on the Medical Necessity button. The program will inform you if the test/s require an ABN. If required, an ABN must be printed out. 7. Enter the patient’s name and date of birth into the appropriate fields and click on the Generate Printable ABN button. The ABN will have the patient’s name, date of birth, and the cost of the testing listed. 8. Print out the ABN and explain it to the patient. 9. Have the patient check Option 1, 2 or 3, and then the patient must date and sign the form. 11 April 2013 Medicare Secondary Payer Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) refers to those instances in which Medicare does not have the primary responsibility for paying the medical expenses for a Medicare beneficiary. All Providers should screen Medicare patients to obtain correct and current health insurance information before submitting a primary claim to Medicare. By completing the MSP Questionnaire to initially screen your Medicare patients, you will help reduce costs to the Medicare Program as well as administrative costs to your practice. Requisitions provided to the laboratory should reflect accurate patient insurance information, including screening for Medicare Secondary Payer. Laboratory Patient Service Center employees will provide Medicare Secondary Payer screening when performing phlebotomy on Medicare beneficiaries. Physician offices that are unable to provide Medicare Secondary Payer screening are encouraged to direct their patients to our Patient Service Centers for this vital requirement of the Medicare Program.

This is effective April 1, 2012. It is the provider’s responsibility to select diagnosis codes carried out to the highest level of specificity and selected from the ICD-9-CM code book appropriate to the year in which the service is rendered for the claim(s) submitted. UHC's Hepatitis Screening policy should be retained as a reference, but remember that every code provided on the lab order must be substantiated in the patient’s chart. United’s policy can be reviewed in its entirety at: https://www.unitedhealthcareonline.com/ccmcontent/ProviderII/UHC/enUS/Assets/ProviderStaticFiles/ProviderStaticFilesPdf/Tools%20and%20Resources/Polici es%20and%20Protocols/Medical%20Policies/Medical%20Policies/Hepatitis_Screening.p df A list of UHC approved codes for Hepatis Screening testing is provided below.

it is not considered reasonable and necessary to perform glycated hemoglobin tests more often than every three months on a controlled diabetic patient to determine whether the patient's metabolic control has been on average within the target range. It is not considered reasonable and necessary for these tests to be performed more frequently than once a month for diabetic pregnant women. Testing for uncontrolled type one or two diabetes mellitus may require testing more than four times a year. Refer to CMS guidelines for the clinical basis for those situations in which testing more frequently than four times per annum is indicated. Medical necessity documentation must support such testing in excess of the above guidelines.
