Bill Cancer TYPE ID using CPT code 81540 (mRNA gene expression assay of 92 genes) for evaluation of tumors of unknown origin.
Coverage is allowed for targeted genomic sequence analysis panels for treatment of solid organ neoplasms when the panel is a DNA analysis panel containing at least 5 gene tests for molecular biomarkers that meet Medicare coverage criteria.
Coverage is allowed when the genomic testing is expected to influence the treatment of the condition (i.e., documentation supports that test results will affect clinical management of the solid organ neoplasm).
Genomic testing of acquired conditions such as malignancies, including separate malignancies developing at different times, is permitted when medically reasonable and necessary to assess response or other clinically relevant criteria.
CPT codes 64400-64530 for peripheral nerve blocks may be reported on the date of surgery when performed for postoperative pain management only if the operative anesthesia is general anesthesia, subarachnoid injection, or epidural injection and the adequacy of intraoperative anesthesia is not dependent on the peripheral nerve block.
Peripheral nerve block services that are separate, medically necessary services which cannot be rendered by the surgeon may be reported if the surgeon documents the reason for referral and the additional services are justified in the medical record.
