LCD Description: These tests include the performance and evaluation of selective cutaneous and mucous membrane tests in correlation with history, physical examination, and other observations of the patient. The tests are performed to determine body sensitivity and reaction to the antigen for the purpose of diagnosing the presence of allergic reaction to antigenic stimuli. The number of tests performed should be judicious and dependent upon the history, physical finding and clinical judgment. All patients should not necessarily receive the same tests or the same number of sensitivity tests. Intradermal tests are injections of small amounts of antigen into the superficial layers of the skin. ICD-9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity Allergy testing is determined to be medically necessary by Medicare only when it is ordered for patients with one of the conditions listed below. ICD-9-CM codes that support medical necessity are listed, but it is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct payable ICD-9-CM code. The diagnosis must be present for the procedure to be paid and the procedure must be reasonable and medically necessary for that diagnosis. Documentation within the patient’s medical record must support the medical necessity for the test(s) provided. 117.3 ASPERGILLOSIS 372.05 ACUTE ATOPIC CONJUNCTIVITIS 372.14 OTHER CHRONIC ALLERGIC CONJUNCTIVITIS 381.10 CHRONIC SEROUS OTITIS MEDIA SIMPLE OR UNSPECIFIED 381.19 OTHER CHRONIC SEROUS OTITIS MEDIA 381.3 OTHER AND UNSPECIFIED CHRONIC NONSUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA 381.4 NONSUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA NOT SPECIFIED AS ACUTE OR CHRONIC 381.50 - 381.52 EUSTACHIAN SALPINGITIS UNSPECIFIED - CHRONIC EUSTACHIAN SALPINGITIS 381.81 DYSFUNCTION OF EUSTACHIAN TUBE 382.9 UNSPECIFIED OTITIS MEDIA 466.0 ACUTE BRONCHITIS 471.0 POLYP OF NASAL CAVITY 471.8 OTHER POLYP OF SINUS 472.0 CHRONIC RHINITIS 474.00 - 474.02 CHRONIC TONSILLITIS - CHRONIC TONSILLITIS AND ADENOIDITIS 474.10 - 474.12 HYPERTROPHY OF TONSIL WITH ADENOIDS - HYPERTROPHY OF ADENOIDS ALONE 477.0 ALLERGIC RHINITIS DUE TO POLLEN 477.1 ALLERGIC RHINITIS DUE TO FOOD 477.2 ALLERGIC RHINITIS, DUE TO ANIMAL (CAT) (DOG) HAIR AND DANDER 477.8 ALLERGIC RHINITIS DUE TO OTHER ALLERGEN 477.9 ALLERGIC RHINITIS CAUSE UNSPECIFIED 478.11 NASAL MUCOSITIS (ULCERATIVE) 478.19 OTHER DISEASE OF NASAL CAVITY AND SINUSES 493.00 EXTRINSIC ASTHMA UNSPECIFIED 493.01 EXTRINSIC ASTHMA WITH STATUS ASTHMATICUS 493.02 EXTRINSIC ASTHMA WITH (ACUTE) EXACERBATION 493.10 INTRINSIC ASTHMA UNSPECIFIED 493.11 INTRINSIC ASTHMA WITH STATUS ASTHMATICUS 493.12 NTRINSIC ASTHMA WITH (ACUTE) EXACERBATION 493.20 CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE ASTHMA UNSPECIFIED

LCD Description:. The CellSearch assay, an independent predictor of progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with metastatic breast, colorectal and prostate cancer, involves the automated immunomagnetic selection of CTCs based on an anti-EpCAM antibody cell capture. To perform this assay, a 7.5 ml aliquot of blood is incubated with EpCAM antibody-covered ferroparticles (nanotechnology). Circulating epithelial cells that express EpCAM are isolated in a magnetic field without centrifugation. ICD – 9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity Circulating Tumor Cell Marker Assays is determined to be medically necessary by Medicare only when it is ordered for patients with one of the conditions listed below. ICD-9-CM codes that support medical necessity are listed, but it is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct payable ICD-9-CM code.

LCD Description:. Cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes by light or fluorescent microscopy. Cytogenetic testing is used to study an individual s chromosome makeup. The term karyotyping refers to the arrangement of nuclear chromosomes in order from the largest to the smallest to analyze their number and structure. Variations in chromosome number or structure can produce a variety of clinical findings, including abnormalities of growth and intellect, congenital anomalies and, in the case of sex chromosome abnormalities ambiguous gender. Cytogenetic testing determines the number of chromosomes, defines the chromosome and examines the individual chromosomes for structural abnormalities such as deletions, duplications and translocations. ICD – 9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity Cytogenetic Analysis is determined to be medically necessary by Medicare only when it is ordered for patients with one of the conditions listed below. ICD-9-CM codes that support medical necessity are listed, but it is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct payable ICD-9-CM code. The diagnosis must be present for the procedure to be paid and the procedure must be reasonable and medically necessary for that diagnosis. Documentation within the patient’s medical record must support the medical necessity for the test(s) provided.

LCD Description:. ICD – 9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity A qualitative/presumptive drug screen is used to detect the presence of a drug in the body. A blood or urine sample may be used. However, urine is the best specimen for broad screening, as blood is relatively insensitive for many common drugs, including psychotropic agents, opioids, and stimulants. Common methods of drug analysis include chromatography, immunoassay, chemical ("spot") tests, and spectrometry.

LCD Description:. Flow Cytometry is a cell analysis process performed by allowing cells in liquid suspension to pass through a laser-produced beam of light for the actual analysis of the cell. Specimens are usually treated with reagents that are chosen to amplify certain signals, such as antigens on a cell surface or within the cytoplasm or nucleus, or DNA content within a cell. Data is generated and organized by the instrument. Clinical analysis and interpretations are performed by an experienced physician, usually a hematopathologist. ICD-9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity Flow Cytometry test is determined to be medically necessary by Medicare only when it is ordered for patients with one of the conditions listed below. ICD-9-CM codes that support medical necessity are listed, but it is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct payable ICD-9-CM code.

LCD Description:. Flow Cytometry is a cell analysis process performed by allowing cells in liquid suspension to pass through a laser-produced beam of light for the actual analysis of the cell. Specimens are usually treated with reagents that are chosen to amplify certain signals, such as antigens on a cell surface or within the cytoplasm or nucleus, or DNA content within a cell. Data is generated and organized by the instrument. Clinical analysis and interpretations are performed by an experienced physician, usually a hematopathologist. ICD-9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity Flow Cytometry test is determined to be medically necessary by Medicare only when it is ordered for patients with one of the conditions listed below. ICD-9-CM codes that support medical necessity are listed, but it is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct payable ICD-9-CM code. The diagnosis must be present for the procedure to be paid and the procedure must be reasonable and medically necessary for that diagnosis. Documentation within the patient’s medical record must support the medical necessity for the test(s) provided.

LCD Description:. Flow Cytometry is a cell analysis process performed by allowing cells in liquid suspension to pass through a laser-produced beam of light for the actual analysis of the cell. Specimens are usually treated with reagents that are chosen to amplify certain signals, such as antigens on a cell surface or within the cytoplasm or nucleus, or DNA content within a cell. Data is generated and organized by the instrument. Clinical analysis and interpretations are performed by an experienced physician, usually a hematopathologist. ICD-9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity Flow Cytometry test is determined to be medically necessary by Medicare only when it is ordered for patients with one of the conditions listed below. ICD-9-CM codes that support medical necessity are listed, but it is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct payable ICD-9-CM code. The diagnosis must be present for the procedure to be paid and the procedure must be reasonable and medically necessary for that diagnosis. Documentation within the patient’s medical record must support the medical necessity for the test(s) provided.

LCD Description:. Flow Cytometry is a cell analysis process performed by allowing cells in liquid suspension to pass through a laser-produced beam of light for the actual analysis of the cell. Specimens are usually treated with reagents that are chosen to amplify certain signals, such as antigens on a cell surface or within the cytoplasm or nucleus, or DNA content within a cell. Data is generated and organized by the instrument. Clinical analysis and interpretations are performed by an experienced physician, usually a hematopathologist.

A person with a personal history of a relevant cancer is a clinically affected person, even if the cancer is considered cured. Genetic testing is considered a non-covered screening test for patients unaffected by a relevant illness, injury, or signs/symptoms thereof. ICD-9-CM Codes that Support Medical Necessity Molecular Diagnostic Testing is potentially medically reasonable and necessary “therapy-directing” genetic tests, either currently available or in the development “pipeline” for emerging use in the coming months and years. Many questions remain, among them the lack of – and difficulty in establishing – good medical literature support of medical necessity; lack of standardized testing protocols; lack of good data for establishing patient-selection criteria; absence of test-specific CPT coding, which we believe to be essential for future development of this potentially monumental enhancement to patient care. Providers are reminded that we will allow payment for such tests, either those currently available or those to be brought into use in the future, based on applicable approval such as FDA labeling, if such exists, CLIA and appropriate Medicare regulations and its standards of medical reasonableness and necessity.
Group 7 Paragraph: Multiple codes exist for the various molecular tests for lymphoma and leukemia. The appropriate code should be selected from the most current manual. The following diagnosis codes meet coverage criteria as indications for molecular testing of lymphoma and leukemia, so long as documentation of medical necessity for the specific test in question is present in the medical record, as noted elsewhere in this LCD. 81206, 81207, 81208 and 81403 (that meet coverage criteria as indications for testing for BCR/ABL fusion gene ).
