CodeTM 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. You can find this rule in Local Coverage Article: Billing and Coding:

This local coverage determination provides CGS? indications and limitations of coverage for these 
pharmaceutical products. Indications: Spasticity Botulinum toxin can be used to reduce spasticity or excessive 
muscular contractions, to relieve pain, to assist with posture and walking, to improve range of motion, to 
enhance the effectiveness of physical therapy, and to reduce severe spasm to allow better perineal hygiene. 
Organic writer?s cramp is uncommon, and so botulinum toxin for the treatment of organic writer?s cramp 
should be infrequent. Botulinum toxin is indicated for disorders associated with spastic conditions and 
dystonia. The wide range of botulinum toxin dosages used in a treatment session is determined by patient age, 
degree of spasticity, number of injections made into each muscle and number of muscles treated. 
Electromyography or muscle stimulation, rather than site pain or tenderness, to determine injection site(s) for 
botulinum toxin may be necessary, especially for spastic conditions of the face, neck, and hand. You can find 
this information in the Local Coverage Decision (LCD): Botulinum Toxins (L33949). 
 
For coverage of botulinum toxin treatment by Medicare, the medical record should include: documentation of 
the medical necessity for this treatment. For spastic conditions other than upper limb spasticity, blepharospasm, 
hemifacial spasm, cervical dystonia or other focal dystonias, documentation should include a statement that the 
spastic condition has been unresponsive to conventional treatment; a covered diagnosis; dosage(s), site(s) and 
frequency(ies) of injection; documentation of the medical necessity for associated electromyography when 
used; and description of the effectiveness of this treatment. You can find this information in the Local 
Coverage Article: Billing and Coding: Botulinum Toxins (A56472).
