3 * Additional Guidelines Highmark WV will consider each person s unique clinical circumstances when a service that is typically performed in an outpatient setting is requested to be performed inpatient. In addition to the policies in the table above, some of those circumstances are provided in these examples: Medical Policy S-59, Implantable Automatic Cardioverter-Defibrillator, Effective February Inpatient: The implantation of an automatic cardioverter-defibrillator is performed as an inpatient procedure when the procedure is urgent or when it is performed by thoracotomy or through the subxiphoid approach. Outpatient: Elective, percutaneous procedures are typically outpatient procedures. Highmark WV covers these procedures when they re performed in an outpatient setting. Highmark WV does not cover percutaneous procedures when they re performed as inpatient procedures. Medical Policy S-82, Intra-Arterial/Intravenous Therapeutic Procedures, Effective February 21, 2011 Inpatient or Outpatient: Intra-arterial or intravenous therapeutic procedures can be performed either inpatient or outpatient. Urgent coronary angioplasties are typically performed inpatient. Intra-arterial therapeutic procedures performed on peripheral vessels, such as femoral arteries and venous percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) are typically outpatient procedures. Highmark WV covers these procedures when they are performed in an outpatient setting. Intra-arterial therapeutic procedures performed on peripheral vessels, such as femoral arteries and venous PTA are not eligible for coverage when they are performed as an inpatient procedure, except in specific situations -- including, but not limited to, those clinical situations in which the patient presents with coldness, mottling, pallor, numbness of the extremity, or pain in the extremity at rest. Additional examples of appropriate criteria for inpatient venous PTA includes oliguria with Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) >45 and creatinine>3 or refractory fluid overload. Medical Policy S-113, Pallidotomy and Other Treatments of Parkinson s Disease, Effective February 21, 2011 Inpatient: Pallidotomy, stereotactic lesion creation performed on the globus pallidus, is an inpatient procedure. Medical Policy S-130, Cryosurgery of the Liver, Effective February 21, 2011 Outpatient: Cryosurgery of the liver is typically an outpatient procedure. Highmark WV covers this prodecure when it is performed outpatient. Cryosurgery of the liver is not eligible for coverage when it is performed as an inpatient procedure, except in specific situations including, but not
4 limited to, patients with intractable pain or jaundice with International Normalized Ratio (INR) >2. Medical Policy S-131, Sacral Nerve Modulation/Stimulation (SNS) for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Effective February 28, 2011 Outpatient: Placement of electrodes used for the peripheral nerve stimulation test performed as a component of sacral nerve modulation or stimulation for pelvic floor dysfunction is an outpatient procedure. Medical Policy S-146, Percutaneous Vertebroplasty, Effective February 21, 2011 Outpatient: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. It can be performed inpatient under special conditions including, but not limited to, patients with intractable pain with neurologic deficits such as paresis or paralysis of an extremity. Medical Policy S-148, Kyphoplasty, Effective February 21, 2011 Outpatient: Kyphoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. It can be performed inpatient under special conditions including, but not limited to, patients with intractable pain with neurologic deficits such as paresis or paralysis of an extremity.

Medical Policy S-181, Coronary Revascularization, Effective February 21, 2011 Inpatient or Outpatient: Percutaneous coronary artery revascularization can be performed either inpatient or outpatient. Highmark WV considers coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary revascularization performed as an urgent procedure as inpatient procedures. Percutaneous coronary revascularization performed electively is typically an outpatient procedure.
