Documentation Required

All ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS codes billed for a preventive service should follow standard coding guidelines and be reported with diagnosis and procedure codes that identify the services as preventive and not for treatment of injury or illness.
Preventive services must be submitted with a designated wellness diagnosis code or maternity diagnosis code in the primary position where indicated (select the appropriate Designated Wellness Code from the pertinent Code Group).

For items that require a prescription (e.g., hospital-grade breast pump E0604; certain blood pressure monitors A4660/A4663/A4670), the order/prescription must be present and the item must be ordered through an in-network provider as specified.

Claims documentation should include clinical justification supporting the preventive purpose (e.g., age/risk status for screening, smoking history for lung cancer or AAA screening, pregnancy status for prenatal screenings) to support preventive benefit processing.

Genetic counseling/testing, behavioral and nutrition counseling visits subject to visit limits should be documented to show number of visits and medical necessity within preventive scope (e.g., BRCA counseling visit count for 3-visit limitation; nutrition counseling up to 3 visits when applicable).
