1 Last Review Date: June 27, 2017 Number: MG.MM.ME.18fv2 Medical Guideline Disclaimer Property of EmblemHealth. All rights reserved. The treating physician or primary care provider must submit to EmblemHealth the clinical evidence that the patient meets the criteria for the treatment or surgical procedure. Without this documentation and information, EmblemHealth will not be able to properly review the request for prior authorization. The clinical review criteria expressed below reflects how EmblemHealth determines whether certain services or supplies are medically necessary. EmblemHealth established the clinical review criteria based upon a review of currently available clinical information (including clinical outcome studies in the peer-reviewed published medical literature, regulatory status of the technology, evidence-based guidelines of public health and health research agencies, evidence-based guidelines and positions of leading national health professional organizations, views of physicians practicing in relevant clinical areas, and other relevant factors). EmblemHealth expressly reserves the right to revise these conclusions as clinical information changes, and welcomes further relevant information. Each benefit program defines which services are covered. The conclusion that a particular service or supply is medically necessary does not constitute a representation or warranty that this service or supply is covered and/or paid for by EmblemHealth, as some programs exclude coverage for services or supplies that EmblemHealth considers medically necessary. If there is a discrepancy between this guideline and a member's benefits program, the benefits program will govern. In addition, coverage may be mandated by applicable legal requirements of a state, the Federal Government or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for Medicare and Medicaid members. All coding and web site links are accurate at time of publication. EmblemHealth Services Company LLC, ( EmblemHealth ) has adopted the herein policy in providing management, administrative and other services to HIP Health Plan of New York, HIP Insurance Company of New York, Group Health Incorporated and GHI HMO Select, related to health benefit plans offered by these entities. All of the aforementioned entities are affiliated companies under common control of EmblemHealth Inc. Definition Neuropsychological testing (NPT) is a specialty area of psychological testing consisting primarily of individually administered tests that comprehensively sample ability domains that are known to be sensitive to the functional integrity of the brain (eg, abstraction, memory and learning, attention, language, problem solving, sensorimotor functions, and constructional praxis). These procedures are objective and quantitative in nature and require that patients directly demonstrate a level of competence in a particular cognitive domain. Cognitive deficits may have nonorganic, transient roots and be associated with anxiety disorders, depressive conditions, and severe psychological trauma. 1 Guideline Members are eligible for NPT coverage when there has been a significant behavioral change, mental status change, memory loss, or organic brain injury under any of the conditions listed in tables 1 and 2. Psychological evaluations that can be accomplished through the clinical interview would not require NPT and shall not be covered. 1 Brief screening measures such as the Folstein Mini-Mental Status Exam or use of other mental status exams in isolation should not be reported separately as psychological or neuropsychological testing, as they are typically part of a more general clinical exam or interview.

2 Page 2 of 34 Table 1 Medical Issues Brain tumor Cerebral anoxic or hypoxic episode Cerebrovascular disease (eg, vascular dementias, i.e., single- or multi-infarct dementia) Central nervous system (CNS) infection (eg, herpes encephalitis, HIV) Demyelinating disease (eg, multiple sclerosis) Epilepsy (for patients under consideration for temporal lobectomy, to assess the cognitive integrity of the remaining hemisphere and lateralized representation of specific cognitive capacities) Extrapyramidal disease (eg, Parkinson s or Huntington s diseases) Head injury (open or closed) Metabolic encephalopathy (associated with hepatic or renal disease) Neurodegenerative disorders (eg, AIDS, Alzheimer s disease and other mixed-type dementias) (See also footnote 3) Neurocognitive monitoring of recovery from or progression of CNS disorders Table 2 Mental Health Issues Note: EmblemHealth s Behavioral Management Program is administered by the following delegates: Montefiore Care Management (CMO) in partnership with University Behavioral Associates (UBA) for members managed by the CMO Medical Group with plans underwritten by HIP Beacon Health Options for plans underwritten by GHI, HIP and HIPIC and administered by VHMS. Chronic exposure to agents known to be associated with cerebral dysfunction (eg, solvents, heavy metal such as lead or illicit drugs) 2 Assessment of mental functioning for individuals with suspected or known mental disorders, for purposes of differential diagnosis and treatment Assessment of patient s strengths and disabilities, for use in treatment planning or management, when signs or symptoms of a mental disorder are present Assessment of patient s capacity for decision making when impairment that would affect patient care or management is suspected Differential diagnosis between psychogenic and neurogenic syndromes (eg, depression versus dementia) 3 2 The workers compensation carrier may provide coverage, particularly in the occupational or environmental medicine realm. 3 When a psychiatric condition or the presence of dementia is previously diagnosed, there is value to the testing only if the information derived would be expected to significantly influence management. Examples include a significant change in the patient s condition, the need to evaluate a patient s capacity to function in a given situation or environment, and the need to specifically tailor therapeutic or compensatory techniques to particular aspects of the patient s pattern of strengths and disabilities.

3 Page 3 of 34 Documentation The medical record should include all of the following information: 1. Diagnosis (or suspected diagnosis that was the basis for the testing if no mental illness was found) 2. Identity of person performing service 3. Present evaluation 4. Reason for referral 5. Recommendations for interventions, if necessary 6. Tests administered, scoring and interpretation and time involved Administration of NPT Only a psychologist, psychiatrist or other qualified (non-physician) provider (practitioner) may perform NPT. 4 The Plan covers up to 8 hours of NPT; any combination of CPT codes 96118, and (inclusive of administration, scoring and interpretation) initially. If a provider wants additional hours for testing, they must submit an additional request. All psychological / neuropsychological testing is subject to medical necessity review. (See Revision History for clarifications specific to lines of business) NPT for routine re-evaluation of chronically disabled patients will be covered only if it is required for a diagnosis or continued treatment. Limitations/Exclusions Each test administered must be medically necessary. Standardized batteries of tests are only acceptable if each component test is medically necessary. A. When neuropsychological testing for a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is provided by a licensed physician or psychologist it is the responsibility of Beacon. If the testing is provided by a developmental pediatrician or pediatric neurologist it is covered by the medical plan. B. NPT is not covered under any of the following circumstances: No suspicion of mental illness or disability This is screening, which is not medically necessary. Non-specific behaviors that do not suggest the possibility of mental illness or disability are not an acceptable indication for testing. Solely for educational or vocational purposes Circumstances that may interfere with the accuracy or interpretation of test results, such as: Positive history of substance abuse when any of the following apply: a. Continued use precludes accurate NPT result b. The patient is 10 days post-detoxification 4 NPT may be conducted by the following provider types. Individuals who are not licensed or otherwise authorized by state law to provide psychological services may not provide psychological services. Pediatrics (developmental-behavioral and neurodevelopmental specialists) Psychiatrist (MD or DO) Clinical Psychologist (CP) Clinical Social Worker (CSW) Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (NPs) Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Physician Assistants (PAs) Relevant NYS Education Department information for education, law and licensure is available at:

4 Page 4 of 34 The effects of certain daily medications (eg, mood-altering drugs or beta blockers) have not been ruled out Similar testing has been performed in the last 12 months C. NPT is not covered for the purposes of diagnosing any of the following conditions, as it is not considered medically necessary: ADD/ADHD NPT is rarely required for uncomplicated ADD with or without hyperactivity; however, a referral to an outpatient mental health or chemical dependency clinic may be medically necessary and covered for the evaluation and comprehensive bio-psychosocial treatment for these disorders. NPT may be medically necessary and covered for neurologically complicated cases of ADD/ADHD (eg, post head trauma, seizures) Developmental disability (except Medicaid members; see Note on page 1) Learning disability Mental retardation Tourette s syndrome D. Specific to Medicare members: Revision History 6/27/2017 5/12/2017 Testing of every patient upon entry to a nursing home would be considered a routine service and would therefore not be covered Adjustment reactions or dysphoria associated with moving to a nursing home does not automatically constitute medical necessity for testing. Some individuals, however, enter a nursing home at a time of physical and cognitive decline; in such cases, psychological testing may be warranted to arrive at a diagnosis and care plan Decisions to provide psychological testing to individuals who have recently entered a nursing home should be made judiciously on a case-by-case basis Clarifications specific to lines of business: The CMS standards basic package of neuropsychological testing is 8 Units For HMO members, preauthorization is required for both the initial 8 hours of testing as well as any additional hours For PPO members, clinicians may seek preauthorization for units greater than 8, or may request claims reconsideration for any denied hours billed if supported by medical documentation. The value of 10 units of testing has been changed from 10 to 8 in accordance with medical unlikely edits (MUE) Clarified that preauthorization is required for both the initial 8 hours of testing as well as any additional hours Provided information for when pre-service requests for ASDs are to be directed to EmblemHealth versus its delegate Beacon 10/25/2015 Clarified use of CPT coding regarding 96118, and Applicable Procedure Codes Assessment of aphasia (includes assessment of expressive and receptive speech and language function, language comprehension, speech production ability, reading, spelling, writing, eg, by Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination) with interpretation and report, per hour Neurobehavioral status exam (clinical assessment of thinking, reasoning and judgment, eg, acquired knowledge, attention, language, memory, planning and problem solving, and visual spatial abilities), per hour of the psychologist's or physician's time, both face-to-face time with the patient and time interpreting test results and preparing the report Neuropsychological testing (eg, Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery, Wechsler Memory Scales and Wisconsin
