Coverage Guidance

Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity

The goal of this Local Coverage Determination (LCD) is to ensure that evidence-based medicine addressing the risks of acute and chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) are integrated into the delivery of home health (HH) services for Medicare beneficiaries with Type II DM. Initial treatment of individuals diagnosed with DM must take into account many factors, including the level of hyperglycemia/hypoglycemia and comorbidities. Physicians often recommend diet, exercise and medications alone or in combination to help reduce long-term risks of hyperglycemia.

Skilled nurse visits are permitted for the administration of daily insulin injections for the population of Medicare beneficiaries that are “either physically or mentally unable to self-inject insulin” and there is no other person who is able and willing to inject the beneficiary. Reasonable and necessary plans of care must contain sufficient information concerning the identified functional limitations to explain why an individual is physically or mentally unable to self-inject insulin. In the absence of another skilled service, failure to include the specific structural or functional impairments, together with the related activity limitations to support the determination that the individual beneficiary is either physically or mentally unable to self-inject insulin will result in a claim denial.

Evidence-based medicine supports ascertaining glucose control and the risk of secondary conditions known to occur in individuals with DM by monitoring glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in individuals with DM. This information and its communication between the physician and HH agency caring for a given beneficiary helps ensure that a HH plan of care (POC) is not only patient-centered, but also addresses prognosis - as required by the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual. Performing the HbA1c test quarterly in patients whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals is supported by the American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes - 2016 (ADA Standards). Based on Palmetto GBA’s claims data and the increased risk of emergency department (ED) encounters and acute inpatient admissions related to hypoglycemia in this population, physicians and HH agencies should consider the inclusion of HbA1c testing in the HH POC.

For other beneficiaries with stable glycemic control (defined as 2 consecutive HbA1c results meeting the treatment goals specified in the POC) performing the HbA1c test at least 2 times a year may be considered. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) framework for considering treatment goals recognizes that “patient characteristics/health status” are important factors when considering glycemic goals. Beneficiaries eligible for the Medicare HH benefit often have multiple coexisting chronic illnesses that would support a higher target goal for the HbA1c (e.g., < 8.5%) in order to avoid adverse events (e.g., hypoglycemia-related ED visits and acute inpatient hospitalization).

Reducing Hypoglycemia-related ED visits/Inpatient Hospitalizations among Beneficiaries with DM

Hypoglycemia-related ED visits and acute inpatient hospitalizations among elderly patients with DM are recognized as potentially preventable adverse drug events (ADE). The United States (U.S.) Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Healthy People 2020, a decade-long work plan for improving the health of the U.S. population, contains a specific Medical Product Safety (MPS) objective [MPS-5.2 reduce ED visits for overdose from injectable antidiabetic agents] aimed at reducing the baseline rate by 10% by 2020. Insulin-related hypoglycemia and errors (IHEs) are especially prevalent in individuals with advanced age, limited life expectancy and frailty. This LCD seeks to help reduce these adverse events by promoting evidence-based HH plans of care.

Documentation Requirements

In order for HH patients to be eligible to receive services under the Medicare HH benefit the following must be documented for certification/recertification:

a) Patient is under a physician care
b) Homebound status - with documentation of confinement to home in medical records
c) Established POC - must be signed and dated by the certifying physician
d) Face-to-face - no more than 90 days prior or 30 days after start of HH care
e) Skilled need - services must be medically necessary, and documentation of the skilled need should be in the patient's medical records

If the requirements for certification are not met then claims for subsequent episodes of care, which require a recertification, will not be covered-even if the requirements for recertifications are met. Recertifications are needed at least every 60 days when there is a need for continuing home care.

1. Documentation should show that the patient is either physically or mentally unable to self-inject insulin and there is no other person who is able and willing to inject the patient.

2. Documentation must be legible, relevant and sufficient to justify the services billed. This documentation must be made available to the A/B HHH MAC upon request.

06/03/2016 R6 Under Coverage Indications, Limitations and/or Medical Necessity removed “When a daily medication is required the first-line agent is generally an oral medication like Metformin, unless there is a contraindication to its use. This policy establishes the expectation that for those Medicare beneficiaries requiring medications to achieve long-term control of glucose levels, Metformin shall be considered first-line therapy unless there is a specific contraindication to its use. Likewise Medicare beneficiaries who despite being maintained on daily insulin regimens are poorly controlled should be considered for treatment with Metformin.” Removed “Reasonable and necessary home health plans of care for Medicare beneficiaries with Type II diabetes must therefore include the monitoring and reporting of not only intermittent capillary blood/serum glucose levels but also quarterly (and no less often than 120 days) HbA1c levels.” Removed “Palmetto GBA will maintain the current quarterly (and no less often than 120 days) HbA1c frequency for the home health beneficiary population “whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals” and added “physicians and home health agencies should consider the inclusion of HbA1c testing in the Home Health Plan of Care.” Removed reasonable and necessary from the first sentence of the fourth paragraph. Under Documentation Requirements removed 2. The results of the most recent HbA1c. Under Sources of Information and Basis for Decision updated the URLs for Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes - 2016 for Prevention or delay of type 2 diabetes and Older adults.
  • Reconsideration Request
05/05/2016 R5 Under Coverage Indications, Limitations and/or Medical Necessity section added the following verbiage to the end of the last paragraph:

Performing the HbA1c test quarterly in patients whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals is supported by the American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes - 2016 (ADA Standards).1 Based on Palmetto GBA’s claims data and the increased risk of emergency department (ED) encounters and acute inpatient admissions related to hypoglycemia in this population, Palmetto GBA will maintain the current quarterly (and no less often than 120 days) HbA1c frequency for the home health beneficiary population “whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals”.

For other beneficiaries with stable glycemic control (defined as two consecutive HbA1c results meeting the treatment goals specified in the plan of care) performing the HbA1c test at least two times a year may be considered reasonable and necessary. The ADA framework for considering treatment goals recognizes that “patient characteristics/health status” are important factors when considering glycemic goals. Beneficiaries eligible for the Medicare home health benefit often have multiple coexisting chronic illnesses that would support a higher target goal for the HbA1c (e.g., < 8.5%) in order to avoid adverse events (e.g., hypoglycemia-related emergency department visits and acute inpatient hospitalization).

Reducing Hypoglycemia-related ED visits/Inpatient Hospitalizations among Beneficiaries with DM

Hypoglycemia-related emergency department visits and acute inpatient hospitalizations among elderly patients with diabetes mellitus are recognized as potentially preventable adverse drug events (ADE).2 The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Healthy People 2020, a decade-long work plan for improving the health of the US population, contains a specific Medical Product Safety (MPS) objective [MPS-5.2 Reduce emergency department (ED) visits for overdose from injectable antidiabetic agents] aimed at reducing the baseline rate by 10% by 2020.3 Insulin-related hypoglycemia and errors (IHEs) are especially prevalent in individuals with advanced age, limited life expectancy and frailty. This LCD seeks to help reduce these adverse events by promoting evidence-based home health plans of care.4

Under Sources of Information and Basis for Decision section added the section titled Websites and the four URLs listed below:
