This article provides billing and coding guidelines that complement Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L37176 for White Cell Colony Stimulating Factors; refer to LCD L37176 for specific coverage criteria, indications, and limitations.
The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports medical necessity for services included in the related LCD, including relevant medical history, physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures.
Include a treatment prescription that defines treatment goals and specific dose-volume parameters for the target and nearby critical structures, and details of beam delivery such as method of beam modulation, field arrangement, and expected positional and range uncertainties.
Include a physician-signed treatment plan that meets the prescribed dose-volume parameters for the clinical target volume (CTV) and surrounding organs at risk (OARs) accounting for expected uncertainties.

Proton beam therapy is covered when the service meets the medical necessity criteria specified in the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and those criteria are documented in the medical record.
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.
Visual field examinations are covered when reasonable and necessary as defined by Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L33766.
Flow cytometry is covered for examination of body fluids (including peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid), bone marrow, and lymphoreticular tissues (lymph nodes, tonsil, spleen).
