Coding Updates

As a result of coding updates in the claims system, claim edits for the policies and clinical guidelines listed below will be revised. This will result in the review of claims for certain diagnoses before processing occurs to determine whether the service meets medical necessity criteria. As a result, these coding updates may result in a not medically necessary and/or investigational determination.

 

Effective September 1, 2019, we will be implementing coding updates in the claims system for the following clinical guidelines listed below which may result in not medically necessary determinations for certain services.

• CG-GENE-07 - BCR-ABL Mutation Analysis
• CG-GENE-09 - Genetic Testing for CHARGE Syndrome
