Article Guidance

Article Text

This article contains coding and other guidelines that complement the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Panretinal (Scatter) Laser Photocoagulation (PRP). 

Coding Information:

Procedure codes may be subject to National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits or OPPS packaging edits. Refer to NCCI and OPPS requirements prior to billing Medicare.

For services requiring a referring/ordering physician, the name and NPI of the referring/ordering physician must be reported on the claim.

A claim submitted without a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code will be returned to the provider as an incomplete claim under Section 1833(e) of the Social Security Act.

The diagnosis code(s) must best describe the patient's condition for which the service was performed. 

Use modifiers LT/RT to indicate operative site. Claims submitted without modifier -RT, -LT, or -50 (in the rare event both eyes are treated on the same day/session) will be returned as unprocessable under 1833[e]). 

Panretinal laser photocoagulation is usually performed in two or more sessions (staged surgery). Payment may be made only once during the global period of the initial procedure. Reimbursement for subsequent sessions in the postoperative period of the initial procedure is included in the allowance of the initial procedure.

Medicare allowance generally includes reimbursement for related procedures performed on the same eye during the global surgery period of the first procedure. Therefore, procedure codes 67208, 67210 or 67227 would be covered only if they represented clearly distinct and different procedures with different indications and were not re-operations or treatment of complications. Such services, and other totally unrelated services, should be billed with a modifier -79 (unilateral procedure or service by the same physician during the post-operative period).

Documentation Requirements:

The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports the medical necessity for services included within the LCD. This documentation includes, but is not limited to, relevant medical history, physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures.

(275 Codes)
Group 1 Paragraph

The correct use of an ICD-10-CM code listed below does not assure coverage of a service. The service must be reasonable and necessary in the specific case and must meet the criteria specified in this determination.

* ICD-10-CM diagnosis code ranges H40.51X1-H40.51X4; H40.52X1-H40.52X4; H40.53X1-H40.53X4 should be reported with the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code reflecting the underlying condition.
