37 37 Vaccination up to age 18 with Counseling

38 38 Vaccines for Children Medicaid Update December 2012: Effective for dates of service on and after January 1, 2013, billing instructions for vaccine administration for practitioner and ordered ambulatory providers have changed as follows (does not apply to clinic APG billing): Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) - Vaccine Administration For administration of vaccines supplied by VFC, including influenza and pneumococcal administration, providers will be required to bill vaccine administration code Providers must continue to bill the specific vaccine code with the SL modifier on the claim (payment for SL will be $0.00). If an administration code is billed without a vaccine code with SL, the claim will be denied. For reimbursement purposes, the administration of the components of a combination vaccine will continue to be considered as one vaccine administration. More than one vaccine administration is reimbursable under on a single date of service. Source:

39 39 Vaccines for Children Medicaid Update September 2012: Clarification of Immunization Policy and Billing Guidelines Vaccines Provided to Medicaid Enrollees under Age 19 (Excluding Influenza and Pneumococcal vaccines) o Vaccines administered to Medicaid enrollees under the age of 19 years old are supplied through the Vaccine for Children (VFC) program. o Vaccines provided through the VFC program are free. An administration fee of $17.85 is paid per vaccine dose administered. o Effective October 1, 2011, (retroactive to 12/1/08), VFC vaccines are to be billed as APG line items. o Providers should bill using the CPT code that represents the vaccine administered and append the vaccine code with the "SL" modifier (indicating State Supplied Vaccine). Only the VFC administration fee will be paid ($17.85). o Providers should not bill an additional CPT code for vaccine administration. The "SL" modifier indicates administration of a State supplied vaccine through the VFC program, and thereby generates payment of the enhanced administration fee of $17.85 Source:

40 and versus and 90472

41 and Reportable to Medicare both professionally (if in a private doctor s practice) and technically (if in a PBD) Reported per vaccine administered Reported for any age patient No counseling requirement

42 and Cannot be reported technically to Medicare, but can be reported professionally Limited to 18 years of age or younger Must provide physician or mid-level counseling in addition to the administration billed for the first component of each vaccine administered bill for each additional component

43 and Many vaccines consist of more than one component E.g., DTAP - Diphtheria, tetanus toxoids, and acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP), when administered to individuals younger than 7 years, for intramuscular use Reported as x 1 and x 2

44 44 Rabies

45 45 Medicare for Rabies The Average Sales Price (ASP) file for 2017 shows the per unit price as follows: Rabies ig im/sc 150 IU $ Rabies ig heat treated 150 IU $ The Medicare MUE is 20, while the typical units administered is around 12 Medicare will reimburse around $3600 for 12 units reported Plus the rabies vaccine (90675) is paid an additional $272

46 46 NYS Medicaid Rabies If the patient received treatment in the ED, the APG claim will report an E/M, which will get paid on the weight of the dx Paid on ICD-10 code Z20.3 RW= x day rate, paid around $ , 90376, not on carve out list, nor is (rabies vaccine) on the APG Fee Schedule like many other vaccines

47 47 SAD

48 48 Self Administered Drugs Self-administered drugs (SAD) are considered a statutory exclusion from Medicare benefits Reported in the non-covered portion of the outpatient bill Use Rev Code 637 for OP billing For most commercial payers report with a 250 revenue code

49 49 SAD Medicare Part B does not cover drugs that are usually (i.e., more than 50% of the time) selfadministered by the patient It is a benefit category denial and not a denial based on medical necessity An Advance Beneficiary Notice ( ABN ) is not required Therefore providers may charge the beneficiary for an excluded drug If Hospital pharmacy participates (most don t) in Part D drug plan, then some SAD may be covered

50 50 NGS SAD List Contractors (FI/MACs) must publish a list of the injectable drugs that are subject to the selfadministered exclusion on their Web site Published as an article similar to coverage decisions Link to NGS SAD list-- J1675 INJECTION, HISTRELIN ACETATE, 10 MICROGRAMS Histrelin acetate 10mg J1815 INJECTION, INSULIN, PER 5 UNITS Insulin J1817 INSULIN FOR ADMINISTRATION THROUGH DME (I.E., INSULIN PUMP) PER 50 UNITS Insulin for administration

51 51 Part D In the event that the hospital pharmacy has a contract with the Medicare beneficiaries Part D plan, the hospital may bill the Part D plan for the SAD

52 52 SAD OIG Waiver Hospitals will not be subject to Office of Inspector General (OIG) administrative sanctions for discounting or waiving amounts Medicare beneficiaries may owe for self-administered drugs (SADs) they receive in outpatient settings when those drugs are not covered by Medicare Part B October 29,

53 53 Don t Report Admin Do not report the injection or infusion administration with the SAD list drugs

54 54 JW Update

55 55 January 1, 2017 All Medicare Providers musts use JW modifier Not new for NGS providers

56 56 Bill Correct Units and Charge To bill for any wastage that was not included in the amount administered: The amount of the drug wasted is billed on a separate claim line with the JW modifier. Units are calculated according to the applicable HCPCS code descriptor. The dollar amount must reflect the amount attributed to the wastage. You will need to calculate the dollar amounts attributed to the amount administered versus the amount wasted NGS Medicaid News and Alerts

57 57 Billing for Wastage The CMS encourages physicians, hospitals and other providers and suppliers to care for and administer to patients in such a way that they can use drugs or biologicals most efficiently When a provider must discard the remainder of a single use vial or other single use package after administering a drug or biological to a Medicare patient, the program provides payment for the amount of drug or biological discarded as well as the dose administered, up to the amount of the drug or biological as indicated on the vial or package label Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 17 - Drugs and Biologicals

58 58 Wastage Document what was wasted Patient-specific documentation Single-use drugs Don t bill waste for multi-use vials OIG has recommended FIs set up an edit that looks for drug billing units equal to full vials for multi-use vial drugs

59 59 Multi Use Vials Herceptin comes in a multiuse vial of 440 milligrams Herceptin, when reconstituted with BWFI and stored properly, can be used for up to 28 days For multiuse vials, Medicare pays only for the amount administered to a beneficiary and does not pay for any discarded drug A payment for an entire multiuse vial is likely to be incorrect This audit is part of a nationwide review of the drug Herceptin Report by THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL- December 2012 A

60 60 JW Modifier The JW modifier is applied to the amount of drug or biological that is discarded Beware of rounding up twice for administered and wastage and overbilling Required by NYS Medicaid and some other commercial payers

61 61 NDC Review National Drug Code maintained in the formulary by the pharmacist 11 digit code represents brand (labeler), drug and dose, vial size NDC is used for billing for some payers e.g., Medicaid Periodic review is important

62 62 Billing Units Maintain Medicare billing units definition in CDM, not vial size from formulary E.g., J3246 Tirofiban HCL CDM description- Tirofiban HCL Inj 0.25mg Formulary description- Tirofiban HCL Inj 12.5mg One 12.5 mg vial = 50 billing units-- J3246 x 50 Round up partial units to whole billing units

63 63 Formulary to CDM Review Review at least annually Join Formulary to CDM Reconcile Formulary items not linked to CDM Drug CDM items with no formulary link Review multipliers
