CERTIFICATE OFMEDICAL NECESSITY(CMN) DEFERREDIMPLEMENTATION

The following are changes to the date for the implementation of the requirement thatphysicians complete Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Certificates of MedicalNecessity (CMNs). These changes affect all suppliers in all four DMERC regions.

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) has extended the deferment ofthe requirement that physicians complete the medical portion for most DME CMNs.For dates of services prior to October 1, 1995, physicians still must review and signall CMNs, but do not have to complete the medical portion of the CMN. HCFA isworking with physician and supplier associations to develop a process that meetsthe requirements of the law while keeping burden to a minimum. Effective with thedate of service of October 1, 1995, physicians must complete the medical portionin addition to signing the CMN, unless an alternative process has been selected.

NOTE: This deferment does not apply to the physician completion of CMNs for thefollowing six items: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators (TENS), PowerOperated Vehicles (POVs), air-fluidized beds, alternating pressure pads andmattresses, seat lift mechanisms and oxygen (HCFA-484). CMNs for these itemsmust continue to be completed and signed by the physician.

In addition, effective December 1, 1994, physicians will now be required tocomplete and sign the CMN for lymphedema pumps.

BENEFIT CATEGORY: Epoetin for dialysis patients

COVERAGE AND PAYMENT RULES:Epoetin (EPO) and items related to its administration are covered by the DMERC when all of the following criteria are met:1) The patient is on Method II home dialysis.2) The patient has anemia due to chronic renal failure.3) The EPO is self administered in the home by the patient (or patient caregiver) who is determined competent to use

the drug.4) Prior to initiation of home EPO therapy, the dialysis facility, or the physician responsible for all

dialysis-related services furnished to the patient, has made a comprehensive assessment thatincludes the following:a) Measurement of the patient’s hematocrit (or hemoglobin), serum iron, transferrin

saturation, serum ferritin, and blood pressure,b) Assurance that the patient or a caregiver who assists the patient is:

(i) trained by the facility to inject EPO and is capable of carrying out the procedure,(ii) capable of reading and understanding the drug labeling, and(iii) trained in, and capable of observing, aseptic techniques,

c) Assurance that the EPO can be stored in the patient’s residence under refrigeration and that the patient is awareof the potential hazard of a child’s having access to the drug and syringes.

5) For a patient who is initiating EPO treatment, the most recent hematocrit (Hct.) prior to treatment is no higher than30%, or for a patient who has been receiving EPO from a dialysis facility or a physician, the most recent hematocritprior to initiation of home EPO is between 30-33%.

6) The patient is under the care of a renal dialysis facility which has established a current careplan (a copy of which must be maintained by the designated back-up facility for Method IIpatients) for monitoring home use of EPO which includes the following:a) Review of diet and fluid intake for aberrations as indicated by hyperkalemia and

elevated blood pressure secondary to volume overload;b) Review of medications to ensure adequate provision of supplemental iron;c) Ongoing evaluations of hematocrit and iron stores;

Page 94-208 December 1994 DMERC Medicare Advisory

d) Reevaluation of the dialysis prescription taking into account the patient’s increasedappetite and red blood cell volume;

e) A method for the physician and facility (including back-up facility for Method II patients)to follow-up on blood tests and a mechanism (such as a patient log) for keeping thephysician informed of the results;

f) Training of the patient to identify the signs and symptoms of hypotension and hypertension; andg) The decrease or discontinuance of EPO if hypertension is uncontrollable.

7) The patient is under the care of a physician who is responsible for all dialysis-related services and who prescribesthe EPO and follows the drug labelling instructions when monitoring the EPO home therapy.

8) The patient’s physician or dialysis facility develops a protocol that follows the drug label instructions, makes theprotocol available to the patient to ensure safe and effective home use of EPO, and maintains adequate recordsto allow quality assurance for review by the Network and State Survey agencies. (For Method II patients, currentrecords must be provided to and maintained by the designated back-up facility.)

For a patient who is initiating EPO treatment and whose pretreatment hematocrit is higher than 30% (or hemoglobin ishigher than 10 gm %), EPO will be covered if additional medical documentation establishes medical necessity in theindividual case. For example, patients with severe angina, severe pulmonary distress, or severe hypotension mayrequire EPO to prevent adverse symptoms even if they have higher hematocrit or hemoglobin levels.

The patient’s dialysis physician or facility must maintain a flow sheet or log recording the dates and results of hematocrittests, iron studies, and the EPO prescription with dates of change.

In most patients, the EPO dose and administration scheduled is adjusted to maintain the patient’s hematocrit between30-33%. The medical necessity for maintaining the hematocrit higher than 33% must be documented in the patient’smedical record and may be requested by the DMERC.

Supplies (e.g. syringe, needle, alcohol) used for the administration of EPO are included in the allowance for the EPO.These supplies should not be billed separately.

The EPO must be supplied by the Method II supplier of home dialysis equipment and supplies. The amount of EPO thatthe patient has on hand must be limited to a two-month supply by the amount prescribed by the physician and/or theamount dispensed by the facility.

Only EPO self-administered by Method II home dialysis patients (or their caregiver) is billed to the DMERC. EPOprovided in other situations (e.g. in a dialysis facility, in a physician’s office, self-administered at home by a center dialysispatient or Method I home dialysis patient, etc.) is billed to the Medicare intermediary or local carrier.

CODING GUIDELINES:The correct EPO code to use is the one which indicates the patient’s most recent hematocrit or hemoglobin (roundedto the nearest whole percent) prior to the date of service of the EPO. For example, if the patient’s most recent hematocritwas 20.5%, bill Q9921; if it was 28.4%, bill Q9928.

To convert actual hemoglobin (Hgb.) to corresponding Hct. for Q code reporting, multiply the Hgb value by 3 and roundto nearest whole number. For example, if Hgb = 8.4, report as Q9925 (8.4 X 3 = 25.2, rounded down to 25).

One unit of service of EPO is reported for each 1000 units dispensed. For example if 20,000 units are dispensed, bill20 units. If the dose dispensed is not an even multiple of 1,000, rounded down for 1-499 units (e.g. 20,400 unitsdispensed = 20 units billed), round up for 500-999 units (e.g. 20,500 units dispensed = 21 units billed).

DOCUMENTATION:A prescription (order) for the EPO which has been signed and dated by the ordering physician must be kept on file bythe supplier. The prescription must indicate the dose and frequency of administration. A new prescription would beneeded if there were a change in the dose or frequency of administration.The initial claim for EPO must include the date of the patient’s most recent hematocrit and/or hemoglobin prior to theinitiation of EPO (i.e. the test that was used to determine the code). It must also include the prescribed EPO dosagein units/kg and the patient’s weight in kg. If the claim is filed hardcopy, this information would be submitted on a separatesheet attached to the claim. If the claim is filed electronically, it would be transcribed into the HAO record. (See theDMEPOS National Standard Format Matrix for details.)

On the initial claim for EPO, a ZX modifier should be added to the EPO code if all coverage criteria (#1-8) listed in thepolicy are met. (ZX is a new modifier which indicates “The specified coverage criteria in the medical policy have beenmet and documentation is available in the supplier’s records.”) If the hematocrit prior to initiation of EPO therapy is >30%, or if other coverage criteria are not met, the ZX modifier may not be used and the initial claim must be accompanied

Page 5: Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators DMERC MEDICARE ... · Palmetto GBA Announces a New Medical Director Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators (Palmetto GBA) is proud

December 1994 DMERC Medicare Advisory Page 94-209

by a detailed justification of the medical necessity in that patient.On subsequent claims for EPO, the EJ modifier must be added to the Q code to identify claims which do not requireas much information on initial claims. The ZX modifier should not be used on subsequent claims.

On subsequent claims, if the DMERC requests additional information for patients with hematocrits in excess of 33%,then if the goal is to maintain the hematocrit at greater than 33%, the physician/supplier should send in documentation(diagnosis, patient symptoms, etc.) supporting the medical necessity; if the goal is to maintain the Hct. at < 33%, thephysician/supplier should send a copy of the flow sheet for the past 3 months documenting Hct. dates and dates of EPOprescription change.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Coverage and Payment Rules are effective for claims received by the DMERC on or after 10/1/93. Use of the ZX modifier is required for initial claims received by the DMERC on or after March 1, 1995.

BENEFITS CATEGORY: Prosthetic Devices

DEFINITIONS:A functional level is a measurement of the capacity and potential of the patient to accomplish his/her expected, post-rehabilitation, daily function. The functional classification is used by the DMERC to establish the medical necessity onlyof prosthetic knees, feet and ankles.

An adjustment is any modification to the prosthesis due to a change in the patient’s condition or to improve the functionof the prosthesis.

Page 10: Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators DMERC MEDICARE ... · Palmetto GBA Announces a New Medical Director Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators (Palmetto GBA) is proud

Page 94-214 December 1994 DMERC Medicare Advisory

A repair is a restoration of the prosthesis to correct problems due to wear or damage.

A replacement is the removal and substitution of a component of a prosthesis that has a HCPCS definition.

COVERAGE AND PAYMENT RULES:A lower limb prosthesis is covered when the patient:

1) Will reach or maintain a defined functional state within a reasonable period of time; and2) Is motivated to ambulate

Functional Levels:A determination of the medical necessity for certain components/additions to the prosthesis is based on the patient’spotential functional abilities. Potential functional ability is based on the reasonable expectations of the prosthetist, andordering physician, considering factors including, but not limited to:

a. the patient’s past history (including prior prosthetic use if applicable)b. the patient’s current condition including the status of the residual limb and the nature of other medical problems:

andc. the patient’s desire to ambulate.

Clinical assessments of patient rehabilitation potential should be based on the following classification levels:Level 0: Does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer safely with or without assistance and a

prosthesis does not enhance their quality of life or mobility.Level 1: Has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed

cadence. Typical of the limited and unlimited household ambulator.Level 2: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low level environmental barriers such

as curbs, stairs or uneven surfaces. Typical of the limited community ambulator.Level 3: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. Typical of the community ambulator who

has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic, or exerciseactivity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple locomotion.

Level 4: Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting highimpact, stress, or energy levels. Typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult, or athlete.

The records should document the patient’s current functional capabilities and his/her expected functional potential,including an explanation for the difference, if that is the case. The DMERC recognizes within the functional classificationhierarchy that bilateral amputees often cannot be strictly bound by functional level classifications.

General:Prostheses are covered when furnished incident to physicians’ services or on a physician’s order. Accessories (e.g.stump stockings for the residual limb, harness (including replacements) are also covered when these appliances aidin or are essential to the effective use of the artificial limb.

The following items are included in the reimbursement for a prosthesis and, therefore, are not separately billable toMedicare under the prosthetic benefit:

Evaluation of the residual limb and gaitFitting of the prosthesisCost of base component parts and labor contained in HCPCS base codes

Repairs due to normal wear or tear within 90 days of delivery

Adjustments of the prosthesis or the prosthetic component made when fitting the prosthesis or component and for 90days from the date of delivery when the adjustments are not necessitated by changes in the residual limb or the patient’sfunctional abilities.Any prosthesis or prosthetic component provided in an inpatient hospital setting should not be submitted to the DMERC.

When an initial below knee prosthesis (L5500) or a preparatory below knee prosthesis (L5510-L5530, L5540)prostheses is provided, prosthetic substitutions and/or additions of procedures and components are covered inaccordance with the functional level assessment except for codes L5629, L5638, L5639, L5646, L5647, L5667, L5669,L5785, L5962, and L5980 which will be denied as not medically necessary. When a below knee preparatoryprefabricated prosthesis (L5535) is provided prosthetic substitutions and/or additions of procedures are covered inaccordance with the functional level assessment except for codes L5620, L5629, L5645, L5646, L5667, L5669, L5670,and L5676 which will be denied as not medically necessary.

When an above knee initial prosthesis (L5505) or an above knee preparatory (L5560-L5580, L5590-L5600) prosthesesis provided, prosthetic substitution and/or additions of procedures and components are covered in accordance with thefunctional level assessment except for codes L5610, L5631, L5640, L5642, L5644, L5648, L5980, and L5710-L5780,

L5790-L5795 which will be denied as not medically necessary. When an above knee preparatory prefabricatedprosthesis (L5585) is provided, prosthetic substitution and/or additions of procedures and components are covered inaccordance with the functional level assessment except for codes L5624, L5631, L5648, L5651, L5652, L5964, andL5966 which will be denied as not medically necessary.

In the following sections, the determination of coverage for selected prostheses and components with respect to potentialfunctional levels represents the usual case. Exceptions will be considered in an individual case if additionaldocumentation is included which justifies the medical necessity. Prostheses will be denied as not medically necessaryif the patient’s potential functional level is “0”

Feet:A determination of the type of foot for the prosthesis will be made by the prescribing physician and/or the prosthetistbased upon the functional needs of the patient. Basic lower extremity prostheses include a SACH foot. Prosthetic feetare considered for coverage based upon functional classification.

External keel, SACH foot (L5970) or single axis ankle/foot (L5974) are covered for patients with a functional Level 1or above.

Flexible-keel foot (L5972) and multiaxial ankle/foot (L5978) candidates are expected to demonstrate a functionalLevel 2 or greater functional needs.

Flex foot system (L5980), Energy storing foot (L5976), multiaxial ankle/foot, dynamic response (L5979), or flex-walksystem or equal (L5981) are covered for patients with a functional Level 3 or above.

Coverage is extended only if there is sufficient clinical documentation of functional need for the technologic or designfeature of a given type of foot. This information must be retained in the physician’s or prosthetist’s files.

Knees:A determination of the type of knee for the prosthesis will be made by the prescribing physician and/or the prosthetistbased upon the functional needs of the patient. Basic lower extremity prostheses include a single axis, constant frictionknee. Prosthetic knees are considered for coverage based upon functional classification.

Fluid and pneumatic knees (L5610 - L5616, L5722 - L5780, L5822 - L5840) are covered for patients with a functionalLevel 3 or above.

Other knee-shin systems (L5710-L5718, L5810-L5818) are covered for patients with a functional Level 1 or above.

Coverage is extended only if there is sufficient clinical documentation of functional need for the technologic design featureof a given type of knee. This information must be retained in the physician’s or prosthetist’s files.

Ankles:Axial rotation units (L5982 - L5986) are covered for patients with a functional Level 2 or above.

Sockets:Test (diagnostic) sockets for Immediate (L5400 - L5460) prostheses are not medical necessary.

No more than 2 test (diagnostic) sockets for an individual prosthesis are medically necessary without additionaldocumentation.No more than two of the same socket inserts (L5654- L5665) are allowed per individual prosthesis at the same time.

Socket replacements are considered medically necessary if there is adequate documentation of functional and/orphysiological need. The DMERC recognizes that there are situations where the explanation includes but is not limitedto: changes in the residual limb; functional need changes; or irreparable damage or wear/tear due to excessive patientweight or prosthetic demands of very active amputees.

ADJUSTMENT, REPAIRS, AND COMPONENT REPLACEMENT:Routine periodic servicing, such as testing, cleaning, and checking of the prosthesis, is noncovered. Adjustments to aprosthesis required by wear or by change in the patient’s condition are covered under the initial physician’s order for theprosthesis for the life of the prosthesis.

Repairs to a prosthesis are covered when necessary to make the prosthesis functional. If the expense for repairsexceeds the estimated expense of purchasing another entire prosthesis, no payments can be made for the amount ofthe excess. Maintenance which may be necessitated by manufacturer’s recommendations or the construction of theprosthesis and must be performed by the prosthetist is covered as a repair.

Page 94-216 December 1994 DMERC Medicare Advisory

Replacement of a prosthesis or prosthetic component is covered in cases of loss or irreparable damage or wear or whenrequired because of a change in the patient’s condition. Expenses for replacement of a prosthesisor prosthetic components required because of loss or irreparable damage may be reimbursed without a physician’sorder when it is determined that the prosthesis as originally ordered still fills the patient’s medical needs. However,claims involving replacement of a prosthesis or major component (foot, ankle, knee, socket) necessitated by wear ora change in the patient’s condition must be supported by a new physician’s order. When the DMERC determines thatmalicious damage, culpable neglect or wrongful disposition of the prosthesis has occurred, investigation will beundertaken to determine whether it is unreasonable to make program payment under the circumstances.

CODING GUIDELINES:Adjustments and repairs are billed as a labor charge using HCPCS code K0285 (one unit of service representing 15minutes of labor time). Documentation should exist in the supplier’s records indicating the precise adjustments and/or repairs performed and actual time involved. The time reported for K0285 should only be for laboratory repair timeand associated prosthetic evaluation. Evaluation not associated with repair or adjustment is noncovered and shouldnot be coded with K0285. The time for patient evaluation, gait instruction, and other general education should not bereported with code K0285. Code L7500 is not valid for billing claims to the DMERC.

The L7510 code is used to bill for any “minor” materials (those without HCPCS definitions) used to achieve theadjustment and/or repair.

Replacement of components (except sockets and covers) are billed using the base code for the component with theaddition of the RP modifier. Socket and cover replacement procedures are identified by the codes L5700 to L5707.Since these codes are defined as a replacement, the modifier RP should not be used. The submitted charge forreplacements reflects both the cost of the component and the labor associated with the removal, replacement, andfinishing of that component. Labor associated with replacement should not be reported using code K0285.The right (RT) and left (LT) modifiers should be used with prosthesis codes. When the same code for prostheses,sockets, or components for bilateral amputees are billed on the same date of service, the items (RT and LT) will beentered on the same line of the claim using the RTLT modifier and billed with 2 units of service.

DOCUMENTATION:An order for the prosthesis including all components which is signed and dated by the ordering physician must be kepton file by the prosthetist. Adjustments and repairs of prostheses and prosthetic components are covered under thisoriginal order. Claims involving replacement of a prosthesis or major component (foot, ankle, knee, socket)necessitated by wear or a change in the patient’s condition must be supported by a new physician’s order. Ifreplacement of a prosthesis or prosthetic component is required because of loss or irreparable damage, reimburse-ment may be made without a new physician’s order if it is determined that the prosthesis as originally ordered,considering the time since it was furnished, still fills the patient’s medical need.

The prosthetist must retain documentation of the prosthesis or prosthetic component replaced, the reason forreplacement, and a description of the labor involved irrespective of the time since the prosthesis was provided to thebeneficiary.

When replacement of the entire prosthesis or socket is billed, the claim must be accompanied by an explanation of themedical necessity of the replacement. The DMERC recognizes that there are situations where the explanation includesbut is not limited to: changes in the residual limb; functional need changes; or irreparable damage or wear/tear due toexcessive patient weight or prosthetic demands of very active amputees.

When submitting a prosthetic claim to the DMERC, the billed code for knees, feet and ankle (HCPCS codes L5610 -L5616, L5710 - 5780, L5810 - L5840, L5970 - L5981) components must be submitted with modifiers K0 - K4, indicatingthe expected patient functional level. This expectation of functional ability information must be clearly documented andretained in the prosthetist's records.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Claims received by the DMERC on or after March 1, 1995.

BENEFIT CATEGORY: Therapeutic Shoes for Diabetics

DEFINITIONS:A depth shoe (A5500) is one that 1) has a full length, heel-to-toe filler that when removed provides a minimum of 3/16"of additional depth used to accommodate custom-molded or customized inserts,

Therapeutic Shoes2) is made from leather or other suitable material of equal quality, 3) has some form of shoe closure, and 4) is availablein full and half sizes with a minimum of three widths so that the sole is graded to the size and width of the upper portionsof the shoe according to the American standard last sizing schedule or its equivalent. (The American last sizingschedule is the numerical shoe sizing system used for shoes in the United States.) This includes a shoe with or withoutan internally seamless toe.

A custom-molded shoe (A5501) is one that 1) is constructed over a positive model of the patient’s foot, 2) is made fromleather or other suitable material of equal quality, 3) has removable inserts that can be altered or replaced as the patient’scondition warrants, and 4) has some form of shoe closure. This includes a shoe with or without an internally seamlesstoe.

An insert (A5502) is a total contact, multiple density, removable inlay that is directly molded to the patient’s foot or amodel of the patient’s foot and that is made of a suitable material with regard to the patient’s condition.

Rigid rocker bottoms (A5503) are exterior elevations with apex position for 51 percent to 75 percent distance measuredfrom the back end of the heel. The apex is a narrowed or pointed end of an anatomical structure. The apex must bepositioned behind the metatarsal heads and tapering off sharply to the front tip of the sole. Apex height helps to eliminatepressure at the metatarsal heads. Rigidity is ensured by the steel in the shoe. The heel of the shoe tapers off in theback in order to cause the heel to strike in the middle of the heel.

Roller bottoms (sole or bar) (A5503) are the same as rocker bottoms, but the heel is tapered from the apex to the fronttip of the sole.

Wedges (posting) (A5504) are either of hind foot, fore foot, or both and may be in the middle or to the side. The functionis to shift or transfer weight bearing upon standing or during ambulation to the opposite side for added support,stabilization, equalized weight distribution, or balance.

Metatarsal bars (A5505) are exterior bars which are placed behind the metatarsal heads in order to remove pressurefrom the metatarsal heads. The bars are of various shapes, heights, and construction depending on the exact purpose.

Offset heel (A5506) is a heel flanged at its base either in the middle, to the side, or a combination, that is then extendedupward to the shoe in order to stabilize extreme positions of the hind foot.

COVERAGE AND PAYMENT RULES:Diabetic shoes, inserts and/or modifications to the shoes arecovered if the following criteria are met:1) The patient has diabetes mellitus (ICD-9 diagnosis codes 250.00-250.91); and

Page 14: Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators DMERC MEDICARE ... · Palmetto GBA Announces a New Medical Director Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators (Palmetto GBA) is proud

Page 94-218 December 1994 DMERC Medicare Advisory

2) The patient has one or more of the following conditions:a) Previous amputation of the other foot, or part of either foot, orb) History of previous foot ulceration of either foot, orc) History of pre-ulcerative calluses of either foot, ord) Peripheral neuropathy with evidence of callus formation of either foot, ore) Foot deformity of either foot, orf) Poor circulation in either foot; and

3) The physician who is managing the patient’s systemic diabetes condition has certified that indications 1 and 2 aremet and that he/she is treating the patient under a comprehensive plan of care for his/her diabetes and that the patientneeds diabetic shoes.

For patients meeting these criteria, coverage is limited to one of the following within one calendar year:1) One pair of custom molded shoes (A5501) (which includes inserts provided with these shoes) and 2 additional pairs

of inserts (A5502); or2) One pair of depth shoes (A5500) and 3 pairs of inserts (A5502) (not including the non-customized removable inserts

provided with such shoes).

Separate inserts may be covered and dispensed independently of diabetic shoes if the supplier of the shoes verifies inwriting that the patient has appropriate footwear into which the insert can be placed. This footwear must meet thedefinitions found in this policy for depth shoes or custom-molded shoes. In addition, the inserts furnished must fully meetthe definition of an insert set forth in this policy. Inserts which will be used in noncovered shoes are noncovered.

A custom molded shoe (A5501) is covered when the patient has a foot deformity which cannot be accommodated by adepth shoe. The nature and severity of the deformity must be well documented in the supplier’s records and may berequested by the DMERC. If there is insufficient justification for a custom molded shoe but the general coverage criteriaare met, payment will be based on the allowance for the least costly medically appropriate alternative, A5500.

A modification of a custom molded or depth shoe will be covered as a substitute for an insert. Although not intended asa comprehensive list, the following are the most common shoe modifications: rigid rocker bottoms (A5503), roller bottoms(A5503), wedges (A5504), metatarsal bars (A5505), or offset heels (A5506). Other modifications to diabetic shoes(A5507) include, but are not limited to flared heels and inserts for missing toes. Deluxe upgrades to diabetic shoes,including but not limited to style, color, or type of leather, will be denied as not medically necessary.

Shoes, inserts, and/or modifications that are provided to patients who do not meet the coverage criteria will be denied asnoncovered. When codes are billed without a ZX modifier (see Documentation section), they will be denied as noncovered.

The particular type of footwear (shoes, inserts, modifications) which is necessary must be prescribed by a podiatrist orother qualified physician, knowledgeable in the fitting of diabetic shoes and inserts. The footwear must be fitted andfurnished by a podiatrist or other qualified individual such as a pedorthist, orthotist or prosthetist. The certifying physician(i.e. the physician who manages the systemic diabetic condition) may not furnish the footwear unless he/she practicesin a defined rural area or a defined health professional shortage area. The prescribing physician (podiatrist or otherqualified physician) can be the supplier (i.e. the one who furnishes the footwear).

There is no separate payment for the fitting of the shoes, inserts or modifications or for the certification of need orprescription of the footwear. Unrelated evaluation and management services by the physician are processed by the localcarrier.

CODING GUIDELINES:

Code A5507 is only to be used for not otherwise specified therapeutic modifications to the shoe. Code A5507 is not tobe used for deluxe upgrades to diabetic shoes. At this time, deluxe features should be coded using code L3649. A newHCPCS code will be established for deluxe features and will be published separately with its effective date.

A codes for inserts or modifications (A5502-A5506, A5507) may only be used for items related to diabetic shoes (A5500,A5501). They should not be used for items related to footwear coded with codes L3215-L3253. Inserts and modificationsused with L coded footwear should be coded using L codes (L3000-L3649).

When a single shoe, insert or modification is provided, the appropriate modifier, right (RT) or left (LT), should be used.If a pair is provided, report as two (2) units of service on the claim the RT or LT modifiers should not be used.

They should not be used for items related to footwear coded with codes L3215-L3253. Inserts and modificationsused with L coded footwear should be coded using L codes (L3000-L3649).

When a single shoe, insert or modification is provided, the appropriate modifier, right (RT) or left (LT), should be used.If a pair is provided, report as two (2) units of service on the claim the RT or LT modifiers should not be used.

DOCUMENTATION:An order for the shoes, inserts or modifications which has been signed and dated by the prescribing physician must bekept on file by the supplier. If the prescribing physician is the supplier, a separate order is not required, but the itemprovided must be clearly noted in the patient’s record. A new order is not required for the replacement of an insert ormodification within one year of the order on file. However the supplier’s records should document the reason for thereplacement. A new order is required for the replacement of any shoe. A new order is also required for the replacementof an insert or modification more than one year from the most recent order on file.

The supplier should obtain a signed statement from the certifying physician specifying that the patient has diabetesmellitus, has one of conditions 2a-2f listed in the policy, is being treated under a comprehensive plan of care for his/herdiabetes, and needs diabetic shoes. The Statement of Certifying Physician for Therapeutic Shoes developed by theDMERC is recommended. This statement may be completed by the prescribing physician or supplier but must bereviewed for accuracy of the information and signed by the certifying physician to indicate agreement. A newCertification Statement would be required for a shoe, insert or modification provided more than one year from the mostrecent Certification Statement on file. If the supplier has a current signed statement on file that indicates that thecoverage criteria described above have been met, then a ZX modifier should be added to the code. (ZX is a new modifierwhich indicates “The specified coverage criteria in the medical policy have been met and documentation is available inthe supplier’s records”.) A diagnosis code for diabetes should be entered on the claim.

On hard copy claims, this statement should be on a separate sheet attached to the claim. On electronic claims, it wouldbe put in the HAO record.

If code A5507 or L3649 is submitted, the claim must contain a narrative description of the modification or featureprovided.

The prescribing physician’s name and UPIN number should be listed in Blocks 17 and 17a of the HCFA-1500 (12/90)form or the electronic equivalent.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Coverage and Payment Rules are effective for claims with dates of service on or after 5/1/93received by the DMERC. Use of the ZX modifier is required for claims received by the DMERC on or after 3/1/95.

REFERENCE: Coverage Issues Manual 70-3

COVERAGE AND PAYMENT RULES:

Shoes, inserts, and modifications are covered in limited circumstances. They are covered in selected patients withdiabetes for the prevention or treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. However, different codes (A5500-A5507) are used forfootwear provided under this benefit. See the medical policy on Therapeutic Shoes for Diabetics for details.

Shoes are also covered if they are an integral part of a covered leg brace described by codes L1900, L1920, L1980-L2030, L2050,L2060, L2080, or L2090. Oxford shoes (L3215, L3219, L3224, L3225 -see Coding Guidelines) arecovered in these situations. Other shoes, e.g. high top, depth inlay or custom for nondiabetics, etc. (L3216, L3217,L3221, L3222, L3230, L3251-L3253, L3649 - see Coding Guidelines), are also covered if they are an integral part of acovered brace and if they are medically necessary for the proper functioning of the brace. Heel replacements (L3455,L3460), sole replacements (L3530, L3540), and shoe transfers (L3600-L3640) involving shoes on a covered brace arealso covered. Inserts and other shoes modifications (L3000-L3170, L3300-L3450, L3465-L3520, L3550-L3595) arecovered if they are on a shoe that is an integral part of a brace and if they are medically necessary for the properfunctioning of the brace. Shoes and related modifications, inserts, heel/sole replacements or shoe transfers billedwithout a ZX modifier will be denied as noncovered. (See Documentation section for definition of ZX modifier.)

According to a national policy determination, a shoe and related modifications, inserts, and heel/sole replacements,are covered only when the shoe is an integral part of a brace. A matching shoe which is not attached to the brace anditems related to that shoe should not be billed with a ZX modifier and will be denied as noncovered.

Shoes which are billed separately (i.e. not as part of a brace) will be denied as noncovered even if they are laterincorporated into a brace. A ZX modifier may not be used in this situation.

Prosthetic shoes (L3250) are covered if they are an integral part of a prosthesis for patients with a partial foot (ICD-9diagnosis codes 895.0-896.3, 755.31, 755.39). Shoes are denied as noncovered when they are put on over a partialfoot or other lower extremity prosthesis (L5010-5600).

With the exception of the situations described above, orthopedic footwear billed using codes L3000-L3649 will bedenied as noncovered.

Shoes that are an integral part of a brace are billed using codes L3215-L3217,L3219-L3222, L3230, L3251-L3253 with a ZX modifier (see Documentation section). Shoes that are not an integralpart of a brace are billed using these codes without a ZX modifier. For codes L3215-L3217, L3219-L3222, andL3230 one unit of service is one pair of shoes; for codes L3251-L3253, one unit of service is each shoe.

Other shoes that are not an integral part of a brace are billed using codes L3216, L3217, L3221, L3222,L3230, L3251-L3253 without a ZX modifier.

Depth-inlay or custom molded shoes for diabetics (A5500-A5501) and related inserts and modifications (A5502-A5507) are billed using these A codes whether the shoe is an integral part of a brace or not. (See policy on Thera-peutic Shoes for Diabetics for coverage, documentation, and additional coding guidelines.)

The right (RT) and left (LT) modifiers should be used with footwear codes. When bilateral items are provided on thesame date of service, bill both on the same claim line using the LTRT modifier and 2 units of service.

DOCUMENTATION:An order for the shoe and related modifications and inserts must be signed and dated by the ordering physician andkept on file by the supplier.

An order is not required for aheel or sole replacement or transfer of a shoe to a brace.

When billing for a shoe that is an integral part of a leg brace or for related modifications, inserts, heel/sole replace-ments or shoe transfer, a ZX modifier should be added to the code. If the shoe or related item is not an integral partof a leg brace, the ZX modifier may not be used. (The ZX modifier indicates that “The specified coverage criteria inthe medical policy are met and documentation is available in the supplier’s records”.)

When billing for prosthetic shoes, a diagnosis code defining the medical condition must be entered on the claim.

When code L3649 with a ZX modifier is billed, the claim must include a narrative description of the item provided aswell as a brief statement of the medical necessity for the item. This could be attached to a hard copy claim orentered in the HAO record of an electronic claim.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Coverage criteria and coding changes are effective for claims with dates of service on or after 1/1/95. The ZX modifier must be used, if appropriate, for all claims received by the DMERC on or after 3/1/95.

CLAIM FILINGREMINDER

PRIORAUTHORIZATIONTELEPHONE NUMBERDISCONTINUED

Due to low physician participation and misuse of the telephone lines by nonphysiciancallers, the prior authorization telephone number will be discontinued, effectiveFebruary 1, 1995. Prior authorization may still be obtained for POVs, TENS and seatlift mechanisms through a written request submitted by the ordering physician. Theprior authorization process is conducted by our specially-trained review personnelwho are able to make an authorized decision. This does not guarantee payment byMedicare for the product. The "authorized" determination is a confirmation that thepatient's condition as described meets the criteria defined in the DMERC medicalpolicies.

If the review personnel determines not to "authorize" the item, the justification for thedetermination will be discussed with the physician. A denial of the authorizationrequest means that Palmetto GBA will not cover the item for the conditions described.The physician may choose to appeal this determination. After the request forauthorization is denied, the patient may choose to obtain the item; however, Medicare'scoverage decision remains unchanged.

When a prior authorization has been processed, our review personnel will issue awritten confirmation of the decision to the physician and the patient. On the writtenconfirmation, a prior authorization control number will be indicated. This number mustbe used by the supplier providing the item, and should be indicated on the prescription.The prior authorization number must be recorded in Item 23 of the HCFA-1500 (12/90) form and should be indicated on the prescription for both assigned and non-assigned claims.

Send written prior authorization requests to: Palmetto GBA, Prior AuthorizationDept., Medicare Region C DMERC, P.O. Box 100235, Columbia, SC 29202-3235.

A mandatory claim filing requirement was created by the Omnibus Reconciliation Actof 1989 (OBRA 1989). It specifies that physicians and/or suppliers are required to filebeneficiaries' claims, regardless of their assigned or non-assigned status, whenrendering services covered by the Medicare program to Medicare beneficiaries,effective September 1, 1990.

In order to submit claims to the Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers(DMERCs), a physician/supplier must have a supplier number which was assignedto them by the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC).

According to the Medicare Carriers Manual Section 3314, Medicare carriers areentitled to monitor physician and supplier compliance with the Medicare claims filingrequirement. Physicians and suppliers who do not submit Medicare claims forMedicare beneficiaries may be subject to a civil monetary penalty of up to $2,000 foreach violation.

If you are a physician or supplier providing services to Medicare beneficiaries,remember to follow the guidelines when filing beneficiaries' claims.

t On electronically filed claims, narrative (support information) submitted to assist the processing of claim line items can be entered in field five of the HA0 record. There are 281 bytes available in this field. This field is defined on page 89 of the NationalStandard Format (NSF) DMERC Matrix.

t To expedite the processing of your motorized wheelchair claims, on the DMERCCertificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) 02.01, please answer question number 12in addition to the required question set numbers 1 through 4. In many cases thisinformation will enable us to continue processing the claim and not suspend it torequest additional information.

t What's in a claim number? The Claim Control Number (CCN) is a unique numberthe DMERCs assign to each claim for tracking purposes. The 14 digits of each CCNcan provide you with processing information you may want to know.

For example, consider the following CCN: 94322-8036-12-000. The first fivedigits identify the year (94) and the julian date (322) the claim was received byPalmetto GBA. In this example the claim was received on November 18, 1994. Thenext two digits document whether the claim was received electronically, or bypaper, (80) means the claim was submitted electronically, (70) means the claimwas submitted electronically and sent to another regional carrier, and (10 through60) means the claim received was a paper claim. The next four digits (3612)represent a sequential number from 0000 - 9999. And the last three digits (000)identify the claim as: an original claim (000), a duplicate claim with some lines thathave been processed separately (010, 020, etc.), a split claim (100, 200, etc.), oran adjustment claim (001, 002, etc.).

Non-Medigap Medicare Supplemental policies are Medicare supplement policies thatdo not meet the definition of "Medigap" policies. Often these policies are referred toas "Complementary Coverage" policies.

Do not list these Non-Medigap Medicare Supplemental policies under Item 9 of theHCFA-1500 (12/90) form. If we have an agreement with a Non-Medigap MedicareSupplemental insurer, Palmetto GBA will automatically forward the Medicare claiminformation to that insurer and indicate that we did so on your Medicare remittance.

The Treasury Department has announced that the Prompt Payment interest rate willchange to 7.0 percent effective for scheduled Medicare payment dates of July 1through December 31, 1994. This is a large increase over the 5.5 percent rate paidfor January 1 through June 30, 1994. The new rate has been approved by theSecretary of the Treasury and was published in the Federal Register the week of June28, 1994.

t CMN Instruction Clarification: On page 94-9 of the DMERC Medicare Advisory,January 1994 issue, and on page 94-129 of the DMERC Medicare Advisory, June1994 issue, instruction is given on the completion of CMN 10.01 for EnteralNutrition, omitting question 8 from the needed question set for correct filing of theCMN. Enteral Nutrition suppliers submitting their first claim to Palmetto GBA needto ensure that questions 2,6,8, and 9-13 are completed.

t HCPCS Clarification: On page 94-170 of the DMERC Medicare Advisory, June1994 issue, HCPCS codes A4460 and L3221-L3595 were listed as noncovered.

Code A4460 for elastic bandages may be covered as a secondary dressing usedto secure a primary surgical dressing. Coverage is dependent on the location ofthe wound and whether or not a less costly bandage is an alternative for the patient.Elastic bandages are noncovered for other uses. Please also keep in mind that theDMERCs are using the national policy on surgical dressing for coverage determi-nation at this time.

Codes L3221-L3595 represent integral modifications to correct a foot deformity toassure proper functioning of a covered shoe attached to a brace; therefore, thesecodes are a DMERC covered benefit.

t Address Clarification: On page 94-181 of the DMERC Medicare Advisory,September 1994 issue, P.O. Box 100236 was given for the Hearings Department.The correct address is Medicare Hearings Department, P.O. Box 100249, Colum-bia, SC 29202.

t HCPCS Clarification: On page 94-179 of the DMERC Medicare Advisory,September 1994 issue, Item 25 for the HCFA-1500 (12/90) form was indicated.The correct Item number for the supplier's signature is Item 31.

t Telephone Number Clarification: On page 94-202 of the DMERC MedicareAdvisory, September 1994 issue, the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC)telephone number was listed in error. The correct NSC telephone number is (803)754-3951.

t Effective Date Clarification: On page 94-199 of the DMERC Medicare AdvisorySeptember 1994 issue, the effective date pertaining to a K code recategorizationwas missing. Effective July 18, 1994, the following K codes have beenrecategorized from Prosthetics and Orthotics to Inexpensive and RoutinelyPurchased. This change means that Medicare will no longer cover these itemsfor patients in skilled nursing facilities or nursing facilities. A revised feeschedule for codes K0115 and K0116, as Inexpensive and Routinely Pur-chased Items has been developed. This revised fee schedule applies to allclaims submitted with these codes, with dates of service on or after July 18,1994. Items classified as Durable Medical Equipment (DME) are only coveredin the patient's home [Place of Service (POS) 12] or a custodial care facility(POS 33).

Q A Providing answers to your questions/concernson an on-going basis.&

These questions were submitted to Palmetto GBA by Region C suppliers, and the answers are being published so thatall may benefit.

1. Q Will Medicare pay for a shoe upgrade?A Yes. Medicare will reimburse a shoe upgrade if it is medically necessary for support or to restrict or eliminate

motion so that the leg brace can work effectively. However, Medicare will not pay for shoe upgrades when theseconditions are not met.

2. Q Will Medicare pay separately for the replacement of a heel or sole, or the transfer of an orthoses from one shoeto another, when the shoe wears out?

A Yes. Medicare allows for adjustments or repairs ordered by the physician when required by wear or by changein the patients condition.

3. Q How does Palmetto GBA calculate pricing from milliliters (mls) into units for nebulizer drugs?A One milliliter = 3 times the unit number

One vial = One unit dose One unit dose = 3 mls

Example:

Most nebulizer drugs are prescribed for treatment 4-6 times a day. This means the unit dose (vials) would be120-180 units per month (i.e., One vial four times a day for 30 days = 120 vials (units). One treatment is givenby vial which contains three milliliters (ml) of solution. If the claim for nebulizer drugs is submitted with 120-180units, it would most likely mean units billed are for vials (unit dose). If the claim is submitted for nebulizer drugswith units more than 180, the units billed will more than likely be for mls.

4. Q How does a supplier bill for the one month rental of a wheelchair while the patient-owned chair is being repaired?A The charge for the one month rental should be billed with the claim for the repair charges, itemizing the charge

for the rental, the labor and parts charges. The code billed on the claim should be E1350 and the attachmentor electronic record should indicate the breakdown of charges. A CMN is not needed for the one month rental.

5. Q What is the appropriate use of codes K0048 and K0195?A K0048 is billed for the purchase or rental of elevating leg rests, up to the purchase price of each elevating leg

rest, when attached to a wheelchair that is listed in the purchase category. Code K0048 is allowed with codesK0005, K0008, K0009, K0013, K0014, since none of these wheelchairs are in the capped rental category.

Code K0195, elevating leg rests, should be billed as an attachment to wheelchairs in the capped rental category.Code K0195 is allowed with codes K0001, K0002, K0003, K0004, K0006, K0007, K0010, K0011, K0012.

6. Q How do I bill a humidifier add-on to an existing patient Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device?A Separate reimbursement will be allowed by the DMERCs for the humidifier, as long as the CPAP device is

covered. Suppliers who need to bill for this equipment for existing CPAP patients should submit their claimsusing HCPCS code E0601 for the CPAP (if appropriate) and HCPCS code E1399 for the humidifier, and includeor indicate in the description, "humidifier." The humidifier billed for an existing CPAP patient, after the initial issueof the CPAP, will be reimbursed as a purchase. Code K0193 (CPAP with humidifier) is used only for newlyplaced CPAPs with humidifier.

DISCLOSURE OFPATIENT SOCIALSECURITY ACTINFORMATION

ANTI-FRAUD UNIT

Office of InspectorGeneral Anti-FraudNotice

Suppliers asked to pay fees to physicians for completing Medicare-required Certifica-tion forms should be advised that the Office of Inspector General (OIG) considers thesolicitation of such fees as a potential felony.

When a physician bills for his or her services, including examination, diagnosis, andtreatment, any cost associated with paperwork (such as Medical Necessity Certifi-cates, Prescriptions, etc.), are considered part of the charges made for his or herprofessional services. If a patient needs an item of Durable Medical Equipment,(DME) the completion of a medical certification form is a service to the patient ratherthan the supplier. This view is shared by the Health Care Financing Administration(HCFA), the American Medical Association, (AMA), and the National Association ofMedical Equipment Suppliers (NAMES).

Section 4152 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1990 requires that physicians mustcomplete Certificates of Medical Necessity for any item of DME they order. Thelanguage in the statute does not authorize physicians to separately charge the patientor supplier for completing the certificates. Allegations of physicians chargingsuppliers for completing CMNs will be investigated under one or more of the followingprinciples:

t As potential kickback situations under Section 1128B (b) of the Social SecurityAct; and/or

t As false representation with respect to the physician's actual charge for professional services furnished on or near the date of his or her DME order for thebeneficiary; and/or

t As a potential assignment violation on assigned claims for professional serviceson or near the date he or she orders DME for the beneficiary; or

t As a potential charge limit violation on unassigned claims for professionalservices on or near the date he or she ordered DME for the beneficiary.

Send information regarding any payment issued to the physician for completing theCMN to the following address, as a review of a potential violation. Include all pertinentinformation in the referral, such as, physician name, beneficiary name and HealthInsurance Claim (HIC) number, and proof of payment made.

Palmetto GBA, Anti-Fraud Unit, Medicare Region C DMERC, P.O. Box 100236,Columbia, SC 29202-3236.

Regulations state that the following beneficiary information is confidential: HealthInsurance Claim (HIC) Number, coinsurance and deductible information, dates ofMedicare entitlement, copies of Medicare claim forms, Medicare report of eligibility,and Explanation of Medicare Benefits (EOMBs).

This information may not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of thebeneficiary or legal representative. The authorization to disclose must: be in writing,be signed and dated, specify the name of the provider being authorized to disclose,specify what information is to be disclosed, specify the name of the third party to whomthe disclosure is made, specify the purpose of the disclosure, and specify theexpiration date of the authorization (not to exceed two years).

The only exception to this requirement, which allows disclosure without consent, isin connection with any claim or other proceeding under the Social Security Act, onlywhen the disclosure is necessary for the proper performance of the duties of: anyofficer or employee of the Department of Health and Human Services, any officer oremployee of a state agency, any officer or employee of an intermediary, and/or aprovider of services or other agency/organization participating in the administrationof the program by contract or agreement. Be advised that this exception pertains onlyto these individuals and must be in connection to a claim or other proceeding underthe Social Security Act.

Nebulizer Drugs

Some suppliers are reportedly diluting Albuterol 0.5% (HCPCS code J7625) withsaline to create Albuterol 0.083% (HCPCS code J7620). Then they allegedly billMedicare for the six units using HCPCS code J7625.

As we stated on page 94-178 of the DMERC Medicare Advisory September 1994 issue, ofthe electronic billers now have an added benefit. As an electronic biller you can have directon-line systems access to the status of your claims filed with Palmetto Government BenefitsAdministrators (Palmetto GBA) through a new Claims Status Inquiry (CSI) system.

CSI continues to be a successful and popular program for electronic submitters. After yourclaims are processed, a history of all claims submitted within the last six months to PalmettoGBA is available for electronic viewing. You will be able to use CSI screens to determine thestatus of your claim(s) as it processes through our system to its final resolution. Through CSIscreens you will also be able to determine the dates and amounts of the last 3 paymentsmailed to you by Palmetto GBA, and the total amount of money pending for your companyon the payment floor.

In addition to this benefit, EDI continues to widen its scope of advantages for electronic billerswith Electronic Remittance Notices (ERNs). As of September 1994, electronic billers beganreceiving their remittance notices electronically, as well as on paper. ERNs are important notonly because of their convenience and automation, but also because they are prerequisitesfor direct deposit of payments, or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). In order to be eligible forEFT, suppliers must receive their remittances electronically, as well as submit at least 90percent of their claims electronically.

Enrolling for this benefit is easy. Simply contact our EDI department by calling or writing, andrequest the enrollment forms for the Claims Status Inquiry system and for ElectronicRemittance Notices. After returning your completed enrollment form, you will receive anelectronic notice of your assigned security clearance to our CSI system and specificdocumentation on how to obtain critical claims processing information.

These added features allow you to stay up-to-date on the status of your claims, and receivedocumentation of the final resolution of your claims as quickly as the information becomesavailable.

If you have any questions about these new benefits or if you would like to obtain theenrollment forms, please contact our EDI department at:
