Aetna considers radiolabeled octreotide medically necessary for the treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The gamma emitting imaging radionuclide ( 111 In-octreotate) is replaced by a beta imaging therapy radionuclide (90Yoctreotide). Guidelines from the UKNETwork for Neuroendocrine Tumours (Ramage et al, 2005) state that targeted radionuclide therapy, including 90Y-octreotide (also known as 90Y- DOTATOC), is a useful palliative option for symptomatic individuals with inoperable or metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors where there is corresponding abnormally increased uptake of the corresponding radionuclide imaging agent. Alternative causes of the member's symptoms have been considered and ruled out, including chronic neuroleptic treatment, contractures, or other neuromuscular disorders.

Alternative causes of the member's symptoms have been considered and ruled out, including chronic neuroleptic treatment, contractures, or other neuromuscular disorders; and.. Need a quick checklist for excisional wound debridement? Millerprovided these nine items that coders should look for when coding for an excisional debridement:. The codes for excisional debridement are divided by the level of tissue removed and the size of the wound debrided, says Gloria Miller, CPC, CPMA, vice president of reimbursement services for Comprehensive Healthcare Solutions, Inc., in Tacoma, Wash. If the physician removes only subcutaneous tissue, coders would report CPT code for the first 20 sq cm and for each additional 20 sq cm. So if the physician documents removal of 65 sq cm of subcutaneous tissue, coders would report and 11045x3. 5. Amount of bleeding and how it was stopped. Report the excisional debridement with codes and The facility cannot separately bill for the compression wraps because the provider debrided the wound, Miller says. However, the coder should report the HCPCS codes for the supply of the compression wraps to the patient's bill, she adds /11/2007 Effective 5/1/07, medical review is no longer required for intermediate repairs. All references to intermediate wound repairs have been deleted. The removal of devitalized tissue is called selective debridement or active wound management, Miller says. Coders should only report these codes once per visit, regardless of how many wounds are debrided. These codes are only used when a provider removes nonviable tissue, and coders should not see documentation of bleeding (which indicates living tissue), Miller says. Hospitals Can Improve Their Infection Prevention Strategies, Study Finds. Remember that if the physician performs a subcutaneous, muscle, or bone debridement, the wound measurements should be larger postdebridement. Each type has its own code or series of codes in CPT. Repair, complex, eyelids, nose, ears and/or lips; 1.0 cm or less. If the physician documents debridements to different levels at the same anatomical site, report only the deepest debridement, Rosdeutscher says. If the physician documents different levels of debridement at different anatomical sites, coders should report both debridements and append modifier -59 (distinct procedural service) to the shallower debridement, he adds. For example, the physician documents a 14 sq cm debridement to the bone on the patient's left leg and a 35 sq cm subcutaneous debridement of the patient's left arm. Coders would report 11044

3 the patient's left arm. Coders would report for the left leg debridement and and for the left arm. Know guidelines and subtle differences in code descriptions for laceration repairs. A physician can debride a wound to remove dead, damaged, or infected tissue so the remaining healthy tissue can better heal. Coders need to look for specific information in the documentation of wound debridement. A 72-year-old male patient presented to the hospital for his first visit for E/M of bilateral venous ulcers, left/right legs. This patient had been previously treated at the hospital within the last three years. A history was completed, an examination was performed, and the decision was made to perform debridement. The patient was advised of the treatment and consent was obtained. A photo of the ulcers was taken before and after treatment. Note: Effective May 1, 2007, HMSA will no longer require operative reports for intermediate wound repairs. Be sure to check with your local FI/MAC for any local coverage determinations or specific documentation requirements for wound care Facility ED Coding Checkup: Visit Levels, Modifiers, and Observation. Don't forget the three checks in medication administration. For example, a physician documents a 26 sq cm debridement to the muscle of the upper right arm, a 15 sq cm debridement to the muscle of the right shoulder, and a 16 sq cm debridement to the muscle of the lower right arm. The coder would add all three areas together for a total of 57 sq cm and report for the first 20 sq cm and 11046x2 for the remaining 37 sq cm. ICD-10-CM coma, stroke codes require more specific documentation /23/2005 Added note to explain application of payment when both a primary procedure and a repair are approved. The AMA made major revisions to the wound care CPT codes in 2011 to make them more encompassing, says John David Rosdeutscher, MD, a plastic surgeon with Cumberland Plastic Surgery in Nashville. Incision and drainage of abscess (e.g., carbuncle, suppurative hidradenitis, cutaneous or subcutaneous, abscess, cyst, furuncle, or paronychia); complicated or multiple. Note similarities and differences between HCPCS, CPT codes. Miller provides the following case example to illustrate what a coder should look for in the documentation of a wound care visit:. Outpatient Coding Edits: Learn the Logic Behind the Edits. Documentation for selective debridement must include the following elements:.. Jaw-closing oromandibular dystonia, characterized by dystonic movements involving the jaw, tongue, and lower facial muscles;.

4 these indications has not been established. OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox Brand of Botulinum Toxin Type A):. Clinical studies indicate that Botox can also provide symptomatic relief in a variety of other conditions characterized by involuntary spasm of certain muscle groups, notably in cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis) and spasmodic dysphonia. Surgical intervention is considered to be the last option, and. Aetna considers botulinum toxin cosmetic for the following indications:. Botulinum toxin is considered experimental and investigational for migraines that do not meet the above-listed criteria. Aetna considers Oncoscint immunoscintigraphy experimental and investigational for all other indications such as any of the following because it has not been established to have a clearly defined role in the management of individuals with these indications:. Nuclear imaging is assuming an increasing role in the management of patients with cancer. Tumor scintigraphy involves the intravenous administration of a radiopharmaceutical, defined as an isotope attached to a carrier molecule, which localizes in certain tumor tissues and the subsequent imaging and computer acquisition of data. The goal of tumor scintigraphy is to enable the interpreting physician to detect and evaluate primary, metastatic, or recurrent tumor tissue by producing images of diagnostic quality. In general, tumor scintigraphy may be used for, but is not limited to, detection of certain primary, metastatic, and recurrent tumors, evaluation of abnormal imaging and non-imaging findings in patients with a history of certain tumors, and reassessment of patients for residual tumor burden after therapy. Specific clinical applications differ depending upon the specific radiopharmaceutical that is used.. The second President Bush elevated democratic values and human rights to an even higher.
