2 Coverage Determinations (NCDs) and coverage provisions in interpretive manuals is italicized throughout the policy. NCDs and coverage provisions in interpretive manuals are not subject to the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) Review Process (42 CFR [b] and 42 CFR 426 [Subpart D]). In addition, an administrative law judge may not review an NCD. See 1869(f)(1)(A)(i) of the Social Security Act. Unless otherwise specified, italicized text represents quotation from one or more of the following CMS sources: Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (SSA): Section 1862(a)(1)(A) excludes expenses incurred for items or services which are not reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member. Section 1833(e) prohibits Medicare payment for any claim which lacks the necessary information to process the claim. Section 1861(r) provides the definition of a physician. Section 1861(s)(2)(V)(15) includes bone mass measurement as a physician service. Section 1861(rr) provides the definition of bone mass measurement. Code of Federal Regulations: Title IV of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Section 4106 includes language providing for Medicare coverage of bone mass measurement procedures, and coverage of FDA-approved bone mass measurement techniques and equipment for "qualified" individuals. These procedures are only covered when medically necessary. CMS Publications: CMS Manual System, Pub , Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15: 80.5 Bone Mass Measurements (BMMs) CMS Manual System, Pub , Medicare National Coverage Determinations, Chapter 1: Bone (Mineral) Density Studies (Effective January 1, 2007) CMS Manual System, Pub , Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 13: 140 Bone Mass Measurements (BMMs). Coverage Guidance Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity Bone mass measurement (BMM) studies are radiologic, radioisotopic or other procedures that meet all of the following conditions: quantify bone mineral density, detect bone loss or determine bone quality; are performed with either a bone densitometer (other than single-photon or dual-photon absorptiometry) or a bone sonometer system that has been cleared for marketing for BMM by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under 21 CFR part 807, or approved for marketing under 21 CFR part 814. include a physician's interpretation of the results. The following procedures are used to measure bone mineral density: dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) radiographic absorptiometry (RA); Printed on 12/2/2016. Page 2 of 24

3 bone sonometry (ultrasound); single energy x-ray absorptiometry; (SEXA), quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Earlier technologies, such as single and dual photon absorptiometry ( CPT code or 78351), are no longer used. Indications: Medicare will cover a bone mass measurement test when it meets all of the following criteria: 1. It is performed with one of the covered tests listed above. 2. It is performed on a qualified individual for the purpose of identifying bone mass, detecting bone loss or determining bone quality. The term "qualified individual" means an individual who meets the medical indications for at least one of the five categories listed below: &deg A woman who has been determined by the physician or a qualified nonphysician practitioner treating her to be estrogen-deficient and at clinical risk for osteoporosis, based on her medical history and other findings; &deg An individual with vertebral abnormalities as demonstrated by an x-ray to be indicative of osteoporosis, osteopenia (low bone mass), or vertebral ; &deg An individual receiving (or expecting to receive) glucocorticoid (steroid) therapy equivalent to 5 mg of prednisone, or greater, per day, for more than three (3) months; &deg An individual with primary hyperparathyroidism; &deg An individual being monitored to assess the response to or efficacy of an FDA-approved osteoporosis drug therapy. 3. It is furnished by a qualified supplier or provider of such services under at least the general level of supervision of a physician as defined in 42 CFR (b). 4. The test is ordered by the individual's physician or qualified non-physician practitioner, who is treating the beneficiary following an evaluation of the need for the measurement, including a determination as to the medically appropriate measurement to be used for the individual, and who uses the results in the management of the patient. 5. The test is reasonable and necessary for diagnosing, treating, or monitoring of a "qualified individual" as defined above in #2. Monitoring is defined as subsequent testing in patients on FDA-approved drug therapy. 6. Medicare may cover a bone mass measurement for a beneficiary once every 2 years (if at least 23 months have passed since the month the last bone mass measurement was performed). 7. For conditions specified, Medicare will cover a bone mass measurement for a qualified beneficiary more frequently than every two years, if medically necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient and if related to the condition listed. In these instances payment may be made for tests performed after eleven months have elapsed since the previous bone mass measurement test. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following medical circumstance: &deg Monitoring beneficiaries on long-term glucocorticoid ( 5 mg/day) therapy of more than 3 months (patients must be on glucocorticoids for greater than three months duration, but BMM monitoring is at yearly intervals). &deg Confirming baseline BMMs to permit monitoring of beneficiaries in the future. In addition, bone mass measurement for the following may be reimbursed more frequently than every two years: &deg Follow up bone mineral density testing to assess FDA-approved osteoporosis drug therapy until a response to such therapy has been documented over time. Printed on 12/2/2016. Page 3 of 24

4 8. A confirmatory baseline BMM is only covered when it is performed with a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry system (axial skeleton) and the initial BMM was not performed by a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry system (axial skeleton). A confirmatory baseline BMM is not covered if the initial BMM was performed by a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry system (axial skeleton). 9. For an individual being monitored to assess the response to, or efficacy of, an FDA-approved osteoporosis drug therapy, the test is only covered if it is performed with a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry system (axial skeleton). 10. The test must include a physician's interpretation of the results. 11. Since not every woman who has been prescribed estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) may be receiving an "adequate" dose of the therapy, the fact that a woman is receiving ERT should not preclude her treating physician/other qualified nonphysician practitioner from ordering a bone mass measurement test for her. If a bone mass measurement test is ordered for a woman following a careful evaluation of her medical need, it is expected that the ordering/treating physician/qualified non-physician practitioner will document, why he or she believes that the woman is estrogen deficient and at clinical risk for osteoporosis. Limitations: 1. Tests not ordered by the physician/qualified non-physician practitioner, who is treating the beneficiary, are not reasonable and necessary. 2. Medicare reimbursement for an initial bone mass measurement may be allowed only once, regardless of sites studied (e.g., if the spine and hip are studied, CPT code should be billed only once). 3. It is not medically necessary to perform more than one type of BMM test in any individual, unless a DXA confirmatory test is performed as a baseline for future monitoring (see Indications #7 and #8). 4. It is not medically necessary to have both peripheral and axial BMM tests performed on the same day. 5. Medicare will not reimburse BMM tests performed by a second provider, when a test has already been performed within the defined coverage period, as stated above, unless as confirmatory testing for future monitoring. Beneficiaries must authorize providers to obtain prior test results. If unsuccessful efforts to obtain prior test results from another provider are documented, new tests may be considered for reimbursement. 6. Single and dual photon absorptiometry, CPT code and 78351, are non-covered services. 7. Bone mass measurement is not covered under the portable x-ray benefit and will be denied when performed by a portable x-ray supplier. Transportation charges for BMM testing are not covered. 8. Bone mass measurement tests provided without an accompanying interpretation and report, as part of the test, will be denied as not medically necessary. The report must be separate and distinct from an evaluation and management note/record. 9. Bone mass measurement tests will be denied as not medically necessary if performed by a nonphysician practitioner. 10. CPT code is considered by Medicare to represent vertebral assessment only. Because code does not represent a bone density study, it should NOT be billed for screening. This code may be billed when medically necessary (i.e. when a vertebral assessment is required). Symptoms should be present and documented, and it should be anticipated that the results of the test will be used in the management of the patient. Other Comments: For Claims submitted to the Part A MAC: This coverage determination also applies within states outside the primary geographic jurisdiction with facilities that have nominated CGS Administrators to process their claims. Bill type codes only apply to providers who bill these services to the Part A MAC. Bill type codes do not apply to physicians, other professionals and suppliers who bill these services to the carrier or Part B MAC. Limitation of liability and refund requirements apply when denials are likely, whether based on medical Printed on 12/2/2016. Page 4 of 24

5 necessity or other coverage reasons. The provider/supplier must notify the beneficiary in writing, prior to rendering the service, if the provider/supplier is aware that the test, item or procedure may not be covered by Medicare. The limitation of liability and refund requirements do not apply when the test, item or procedure is statutorily excluded, has no Medicare benefit category or is rendered for screening purposes. For outpatient settings other than CORFs, references to "physicians" throughout this policy include nonphysicians, such as nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and physician assistants. Such non-physician practitioners, with certain exceptions, may certify, order and establish the plan of care as authorized by State law.
