Billing and Coding: MolDX: Pharmacogenomics Testing

The information in this article contains billing, coding or other guidelines
that complement the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for MolDX:
Pharmacogenomics Testing L38337

Relevant National Coverage Determinations (NCDs):

  * NCD 90.1: Testing for CYP2C9 and VKORC1 for Warfarin dosage must adhere to the requirements set forth in this NCD.

Relevant Articles:

  * Billing and Coding: MolDX: Testing of Multiple Genes A58121
  * Billing and Coding: MolDX: Repeat Germline Testing A57332

**Additional documentation requirements for coverage and billing:**

Performing providers are required to acquire and retain records of the drugs
under consideration for use or in use by the ordering physician that
necessitate the use of ordered test.

MolDX may make available specific forms to assist with test Technical
Assessments (TAs). Please follow the instructions on the MolDX website to
assist with this process. If such forms are available that pertain to the test
type in question, these forms are required for successful coverage
determinations.

**Billing instructions:**

To report a pharmacogenomics testing service, please submit the following
claim information:

  * Select the appropriate CPT code of PLA code
  * Enter 1 unit of service (UOS)
  * Enter the appropriate DEX Z-Code identifier adjacent to the CPT code in the comment/narrative field for the following Part B claim field/types: 
    * Loop 2400 or SV101-7 for the 5010A1 837P
    * Item 19 for paper claim
  * Enter the appropriate DEX Z-Code identifier adjacent to the CPT code in the comment/narrative field for the following Part A claim field/types: 
    * Line SV202-7 for 837I electronic claim
    * Block 80 for the UB04 claim form
  * Select the appropriate ICD-10-CM code

For 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. The character maximum for loop 2400 is 80. To prevent
denials/rejects when indicating more than 80 characters, please indicate the
required drug names first. If multiple drugs are being used/considered for the
specified beneficiary on the claim, they should be added to the comment line
separated by a "/" (example Drug 1/Drug 2). Do not list the same drug more
than once. The use of the generic name is strongly preferred.

Only one test may be performed per date of service; the test should be the
most likely to identify the necessary alleles/variants for the drug/drugs in
question. This applies to both single gene tests and multigene panels.

The medical necessity for the additional testing and the clinical decision
making for the additional testing must be documented in the medical record.
The CPT code set relevant to this policy is listed in the table below. If no
CPT code is available for the gene being tested, the NOC code 81479 may be
used. The identification of the proper recommended billing code is established
as part of the test application process.
