300.4 - Payment for MNT Services  (Rev. 11426; Issued: 05- 20-22; Effective: 01 -01-22; Implementation: 07- 05-22)  The contractor shall pay for MNT services under the physician fee schedule for dates of service on or after January 1, 2002, to a registered dietitian or nutrition professional that meets the above requirements. Deductible and coinsurance apply. As with the DSMT  benefit, payment is only made for MNT services actually attended by the beneficiary and documented by the provider, and for beneficiaries that are not inpatients of a hospital or skilled nursing facility.   The contractor shall pay the lesser of the  actual charge, or 85 % of the physician fee schedule amount when rendered by a registered dietitian or nutrition professional. As required by statute, use this same methodology for services provided in the hospital outpatient department.   A. Payable Codes  for MNT with Applicable Instructions    97802 -  Medical nutrition therapy; initial assessment and intervention, individual, face -to-face with the patient, each 15 minutes. ( NOTE: This HCPCS code must only be used for the initial visit.)   This code is to be used only once for the initial assessment of a new patient. The provider shall bill all subsequent individual visits (including reassessments and interventions) as 97803. The provider shall bill all subsequent group visits as 97804.    97803 -  Re-assessment and intervention, individual, face -to-face with the patient, each 15 minutes   The provider shall bill this code for all reassessments and all interventions after the initial visit (see 97802). This code should also be used when there is a change in the patients medical condition that affects the nutritional status of the patient (see the heading, Additional Covered Hours for Reassessments and Interventions).     97804 -  Group (2 or more individual(s)), each 30 minutes   The provider shall bill this  code for group visits, initial and subsequent. This code can also be used when there is a change in a patients condition that affects the nutritional status of the patient and the patient is attending in a group.
(Medicare Claims Processing Manual)
The provider shall bill this  code for group visits, initial and subsequent. This code can also be used when there is a change in a patients condition that affects the nutritional status of the patient and the patient is attending in a group.   NOTE: The above codes can be paid if su bmitted by a registered dietitian or nutrition professional who meet the specified requirements; or a hospital that has received reassigned benefits from a registered dietitian or nutritionist. These services cannot be paid incident to physician services .   B. Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS)  Codes for MNT When There is a Change in the Beneficiaries Condition (for services effective on or after January 1, 2003)   The following HCPCS codes shall be used when there is a change in the beneficiary's condition:    G0270 -  Medical Nutrition Therapy; reassessment and subsequent intervention(s) following second referral in same year for change in diagnosis, medical condit ion or treatment regimen (including additional hours needed for renal disease), individual, face to face with the patient, each 15 minutes.    G0271 -  Medical Nutrition Therapy; reassessment and subsequent intervention(s) following second referral in same  year for change in diagnosis, medical condition, or treatment regimen (including additional hours needed for renal disease) group (2 or more individuals), each 30 minutes.   NOTE: These G codes should be used when additional hours of MNT services are performed beyond the number of hours typically covered, (3 hours in the initial calendar year, and 2 follow -up hours in subsequent years with a physician referral) when the physician determines there is a change of diagnosis or medical condition that makes a change in diet necessary. Appropriate medical review for this provision should only be done on a post payment basis. Outliers may be judged against nationally accepted dietary or nutritional protocols in accordance with 42 CFR 410.132(a).   300.5 - General Claims Processing Information  (Rev. 11426; Issued: 05- 20-22; Effective: 01 -01-22; Implementation: 07- 05-22)
(Medicare Claims Processing Manual)
300.5 - General Claims Processing Information  (Rev. 11426; Issued: 05- 20-22; Effective: 01 -01-22; Implementation: 07- 05-22)  This benefit is payable for beneficiaries who have diabetes or renal disease. Contractors are urged to perform data analysis of these services in your jurisdiction. If you determine that a potential problem exists, you should verify the cause of the potent ial error by conducting an error validation review as described in the Program Integrity Manual (PIM), Chapter 3, Section 2A. Where errors are verified, initiate appropriate corrective actions found in the PIM, Chapter 3, Sections 3 through 6. If no diagnosis is on the claim,  return the claim as unprocessable. If the claim does not contain a diagnosis of diabetes or renal disease, then deny the claim under Section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the Act.   A. Special Requirements for A/B MACs (B)    Registered dietitians  and nutrition professionals can be part of a group practice in which case the provider identification number of the registered dietitian or nutrition professional that performed the service must be entered in on the claim form.    The specialty code for dietitians/nutritionists is 71.   B. Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs)    Use the following MNT messages where appropriate. If you locate a more appropriate message, then you should use it.    If a claim for MNT is submitted with dates of service before January 1, 2002, use MSN 21.11 (This service was not covered by Medicare at the time you received it). The Spanish version is Este servicio no estaba cubierto por Medicare cuando usted lo recibio.    If a claim for MNT is submitted by a provider that does not meet the criteria use MSN 21.18 (This item or service is not covered when performed or ordered by this provider). The Spanish version is Este servicio no esta cubierto cuando es ordenado o rendido por este proveedor.   C. A/B MAC (A) Special Billing Instructions
(Medicare Claims Processing Manual)
C. A/B MAC (A) Special Billing Instructions   MNT Services can be billed to A/B MACs (A) when performed in an outpatient hospital setting. The Hospital outpatient departments can bill for the MNT services through the A/B MAC (A) if the nutritionists or registered dietitians reassign their benefits to the hospital. If the hospitals do not get the reassignments the nutritionists and the registered dietitians will have to bill the Medicare A/B MAC (B) under their own provider  number or the hospital will have to bill the Medicare A/B MAC (B).   NOTE: Nutritionists and registered dietitians must obtain a Medicare provider number before they can reassign their benefits.   The only applicable bill types are 13X, 14X, 23X, 34X, and 85X.   300.5.1 - Rural Health Centers (RHCs )/Federally Qualified Health Centers ( FQHCs ) Special Billing Instructions  (Rev. 11426; Issued: 05- 20-22; Effective: 01 -01-22; Implementation: 07- 05-22)   Detailed billing instructions for MNT  services provided in  Rural Health Clinics  and Federally Qualified Health Centers can be found in Chapter 9, section 182 of this manual.   300.6 - Common Working File (CWF) Edits  (Rev. 11426; Issued: 05- 20-22; Effective: 01 -01-22; Implementation: 07- 05-22)  The Common Working File (CWF ) edit will allow 3 hours of therapy for MNT in the initial calendar year. The edit will allow more than 3 hours of therapy if there is a change in the beneficiarys medical condition, diagnosis, or treatment regimen and this change must be documented in the  beneficiarys medical record. Two new G codes have been created for use when a beneficiary receives a second referral in a calendar year that allows the beneficiary to receive more than 3 hours of therapy. Another edit will allow 2 hours of follow up MNT with another referral in subsequent years.   Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN)
(Medicare Claims Processing Manual)
Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN)   The beneficiary is liable for services denied over the limited number of hours with referrals for MNT. An Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN ) should be issued in these situations.  In absence of evidence of a valid ABN, the provider will be held liable.   An ABN should not be issued for Medicare -covered services such as those provided by hospital dietitians or nutrition professionals who are qualified to render the service in their state but who have not obtained Medicare provider numbers.   Duplicate Edits   Although beneficiaries are allowed to receive training and therapy during the same time period DSMT  and MNT  services may not be provided on the same day to the same beneficiary.  Effective April 1, 2010 CWF shall implement a new duplicate crossover edit to identify and prevent claims for DSMT/MNT services from being billed with the same dates of services for the same beneficiaries submitted from institutional providers and from a professional provider.   310 - Lung Volume Reduction Surgery  (Rev. 768, Issued:  12- 01-05; Effective:  11- 17-05; Implementation:  03 -02 06)   Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS) (also known as reduction pneumoplasty, lung shaving, or lung contouring) is an invasive surgical procedure to reduce the volume of a hyperinflated lung in order to allow the underlying compressed lung to expand, and thus, establish improved respiratory function.   Effective for 'from' dates of service on or after January 1, 2004, Medi care will cover LVRS under certain conditions as described in 240 of the Pub. 100- 03, National Coverage Determinations.    LVRS can only be performed in the facilities listed on the following website:   http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare -General -Information/MedicareApprovedFacilitie/Lung -Volume -Reduction- Surgery-LVRS.html .
(Medicare Claims Processing Manual)
LVRS is an inpatient procedure.  However pre- and post- operative services are performed on an outpatient basis and must be performed at one of the facilities certified to do so.  These procedures are paid under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS), except for hospitals located in Maryland.  Medicare previously only covered LVRS as part of the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT).  The study was limited to 18 hospitals, and patients were randomized into two arms, either medical management and LVRS or medical management.  The study  was conducted by The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health and coordinated by Johns Hopkins University (JHU).  Hospital claims for patients in the NETT were identified by the presence of Condition Code EY.  The JHU instructed hospitals of the correct billing procedures for billing claims under the NETT.

320 - Outpatient Intravenous Insulin Treatment (OIVIT)  (Rev. 1930, Issued:  03-09-10, Effective Date:  12-23- 09; Implementation Date:  04 -05-10)  Effective for clai ms with dates of service on and after December 23, 2009, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) determines that the evidence does not support a conclusion that OIVIT improves health outcomes in Medicare beneficiaries.  Therefore, CMS has dete rmined that OIVIT is not reasonable and necessary for any indication under section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act.  Services comprising an OIVIT regimen are nationally non-covered under Medicare when furnished pursuant to an OIVIT regimen.  See P ub. 100-03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Section 40.7, Outpatient Intravenous Insulin Treatment (Effective December 23, 2009), for general information and coverage indications.  320.1 - HCPCS Coding for OIVIT  (Rev. 1930, Issued:  03-09-10, Effective Date:  12-23- 09; Implementation Date:  04 -05-10)  HCPCS code G9147, effective with the April IOCE and MPFSDB updates, is to be used on claims with dates of service on and after December 23, 2009, billing for non-covered OIVIT and any services comprising an OIVIT regimen.  NOTE:  HCPCS codes 99199 or 94681(with or without diabetes related conditions 250.00-250.93) are not to be used on claims billing for non- covered OIVIT and any services comprising an OIVIT regimen when furnished pursuant to an OIVIT regimen.  Claims billing for HCPCS codes 99199 and 94681 for non- covered OIVIT are to be returned to provider/returned as unprocessable.   320.2 - Medicare Summary Notices (MSN), Reason Codes, and Remark Codes (Rev. 3475, Issued: 03- 04-16, Effective:  06-06-16, Implementation: 06- 06-16)  Contractors shall return non- covered OIVIT claims billed with HCPCS 99199 to provider/return as unprocessable.
