The rules say that proper coding is necessary on Medicare claims because the codes are generally used to 
determine coverage and payment amounts. CMS accepts only HIPPA approved ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-
CM/ICD-10-PCS codes, depending on the date of service. Use the diagnosis code that describes the patient's 
diagnosis, symptom, complaint, condition or problem. Assign the code to the highest level of specificity. The 
"highest degree of specificity" refers to assigning the most precise code that most fully explains the narrative 
description of the symptom or diagnosis. You can find these rules in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual 
Chapter 23, Sections 10.

dentogingival junction, periodontal membrane, cementum of the teeth, and alveolar process. You can find this 
rule in the SSA, Section 1862(a)(12) and Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 150.

The rules say to qualify for home health services, the patient must be: 
 
1. Confined to the home;  
2. Under the care of a physician or allowed practitioner;  
3. Receiving services under a plan of care established and reviewed by a physician;  
4. Be in need of (a) skilled nursing care on an intermittent basis, (b) physical therapy, (c) speech therapy or (d) 
continuing occupational therapy.  
You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 409.42. 
 
The rules say that eligibility for the home health benefit will be determined based on the certifying physician's 
records. If the enrollee was directly admitted to home health from an acute or post-acute care facility, the 
facility records may be used instead. The medical records for the enrollee must contain information that 
justifies the referral for home health services. 
  
The certifying physician must document that he or she or an allowed non-physician practitioner (NPP) had a 
face-to-face encounter with the enrollee within the required timeframe. The records must contain the actual 
clinical note for the face-to-face encounter visit. You can find these rules in the Medicare Benefit Policy 
Manual, Chapter 7, Section 30.5.1, 30.5.1.1, and 30.5.1.2.

the following qualified skilled services:  
 
1. Skilled nursing care;  
2. Physical therapy;  
3. Occupational therapy; or  
4. Speech pathology services.  
 
HHA services are no longer covered for enrollees once the qualifying skilled service has ended. To be covered, 
home health aide services must be reasonable and necessary. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Sections 409.44 
and 409.45.

The rules say effective July 1, 2017, laboratories with 1 to 4 gene(s) on their targeted NGS panel should use 
CPT 81479 and one (1) UOS along with their test identifier (DEX Z-Code) to represent this service on their 
claims. Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 individual biomarker CPT codes should not be used for a single gene or any 
combination of genes when testing is performed as part of a NGS or other multiplexing technology panel. As 
CGP testing is not defined as a targeted panel by MolDX, and it is a test not currently satisfactorily described 
by any existing CPT code. Therefore, to report a CGP service, test providers should use CPT code 81479 at this 
time, in addition to the approved DEX Z-Code for the test. Coverage of CGP is limited to one test per surgical 
specimen and precludes the use of any other molecular testing on that specimen. For NGS-based tests that do 
not fit under the above definitions of 'targeted' or 'Comprehensive' panels, billing with the 'Not Otherwise 
Classified' (NOC) code 81479 along with the approved DEX Z-Code identifier is appropriate. You can find 
this in the Local Coverage Article: Billing and Coding: MolDX: Targeted and Comprehensive Genomic Profile

The rules state that evaluation and management services on the day before major surgery or on the day of major 
surgery that result in the initial decision to perform the surgery are not included in the global surgery payment 
for the major surgery and, therefore, may be billed and paid separately. In addition to the CPT evaluation and 
management code, modifier "-57" (decision for surgery) is used to identify a visit which results in the initial 
decision to perform surgery. You can find this information in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 
12, Section 40.2.
