Coverage Guidance Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity The American Medical Association (AMA) develops temporary Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Category III codes to track the utilization of emerging technologies, services, and procedures. The CATEGORY III CPT Code description does not establish a service or procedure as safe, effective or applicable to the clinical practice of medicine. 1. The creation of a CPT Category III code by the AMA "neither implies nor endorses clinical efficacy, safety or the applicability to clinical practice." 2. Acceptance by individual health care providers, or even a limited group of health care providers, does not indicate general acceptance by the medical community. Testimonials indicating such limited acceptance, and limited case studies distributed by sponsors with financial interest in the outcome, are not sufficient evidence of general acceptance by the medical community. The available published evidence must be considered and its quality shall be evaluated before a conclusion is reached. Printed on 9/26/2017. Page 3 of 10
Indications and Limitations: Section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act (SSA) is the statutory basis for denying payment for types of care, items, services, and procedures, not excluded by any other statutory clause while meeting all technical requirements for coverage, that are determined to be any of the following: 1. Not generally accepted by the medical community as safe and effective in the setting and for the condition for which it is used; 2. Not proven safe and effective based on peer review or scientific literature; 3. Experimental; 4. Not medically necessary for a particular patient; 5. Furnished at a level, duration, or frequency that is not medically appropriate; 6. Not furnished in accordance with accepted standards of medical practice; or 7. Not furnished in a setting appropriate to the patient s medical needs and condition. Items and services must be established as safe and effective to be considered medically necessary. That is, the items and services must be: 1. Consistent with the symptoms of diagnosis of the illness or injury under treatment; and 2. Necessary for, and consistent with, generally accepted professional medical standards of care (e.g., not experimental) and; 3. Not furnished primarily for the convenience of the patient, the provider or supplier; and 4. Furnished at the most appropriate level of care that can be provided safely and effectively to the patient. Medical devices that are not approved for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are considered investigational and are not considered reasonable and necessary under SSA 1862(a)(1)(A). Medicare payment, therefore, may not be made for procedures performed using devices that have not been approved for marketing by the FDA unless performed within the context of a clinical trial qualifying under the National Coverage Determination (NCD) for Routine Costs in Clinical Trials (310.1) or in approved FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trial. FDA designation/ determination of a device as 510(k) mean(s) that the device has been approved for marketing by the FDA because it is similar to something already on the market that was "grandfathered in" by the FDA and therefore these devices are eligible for coverage. In addition, items, services, or devices may also be not covered under SSA 1862 (a) (1) (D) (E) or (O). If a provider believes that any Category III code not included in this LCD qualifies for coverage (is proven to be safe and effective as well as reasonable and necessary), that provider may request inclusion of the Category III code in this LCD through the LCD Reconsideration Process. Peer reviewed scientific evidence is required for consideration. Summary of Evidence Analysis of Evidence (Rationale for Determination) Back to Top Coding Information Printed on 9/26/2017.

Bill Type Codes: Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the policy does not apply to that Bill Type. Complete absence of all Bill Types indicates that coverage is not influenced by Bill Type and the policy should be assumed to apply equally to all claims. Revenue Codes: Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the policy, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination. Complete absence of all Revenue Codes indicates that coverage is not influenced by Revenue Code and the policy should be assumed to apply equally to all Revenue Codes. CPT/HCPCS Codes Group 1 Paragraph: The following lists Category III services determined by WPS GHA to be reasonable and medically necessary. Coverage will only be allowed when the service is delivered in clinical situations meeting medical necessity.

coverage criteria. 0075T, 0076T Services described by CPT codes 0075T and 0076T are allowed when provided in accordance with NCD 20.7, Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty. Refer to CMS publication 100-03, Medicare National Determinations Manual, Chapter 1, Part 1, 20.7. Billing instructions are listed in the CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 32, Sections 160-160.3. As directed in The CPT, use 0076T in conjunction with 0075T. 0184T The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline on treatment of rectal cancer states that, when criteria for transanal resection are met, transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) can be used when the tumor can be adequately identified in the rectum. It further states that TEMS for more proximal lesions (greater than 8 cm from anal verge) may be technically feasible. 0191T, 0376T An anterior segment aqueous drainage device, utilizing the internal approach, for use in combination with cataract surgery to reduce pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) in adult patients with mild or moderate open-angle glaucoma on medication. Medicare payment for glaucoma drainage device is included in the facility reimbursement for 0191T. On UB-04 claims, use revenue code 278 to report the glaucoma drainage device. 0249T Effective 05/01/2016 CPT/HCPCS code 0249T (ligation, hemorrhoidal vascular bundles(s), including ultrasound guidance) is reimbursable. It is a minimally invasive outpatient alternative to surgical hemorrhoidectomy for patients with symptomatic internal hemorrhoids. It is also known as Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization (THD). 0275T This is a procedure proposed as a treatment for symptomatic Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) unresponsive to conservative therapy. This procedure is generally described as a non-invasive procedure using specially designed instruments to percutaneously remove a portion of the lamina and debulk the ligamentum flavum. The procedure is performed under x-ray guidance (e.g., fluoroscopic, CT) with the assistance of contrast media to identify and monitor the compressed area via epiduragram. Effective for claims with dates of service on or after January 9, 2014, Percutaneous Image-Guided Lumbar Decompression (PILD) is covered by Medicare when provided in a clinical study under section 1862(a)(1)(E) through Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) for beneficiaries with LSS who are enrolled in an approved clinical study and meets the criteria listed in NCD-150.13, Transmittal 167. 0295T- 0298T An external electrocardiographic recording for more than 48 hours and up to 21 days. CPT/HCPCS codes 0295T, 0296T 0297T and 0298T are addressed in WPS Medicare LCD entitled Electrocardiographic (EKG or ECG) Monitoring (Holter or Real-Time Monitoring) CV-016. 0308T Effective July 1, 2012 CPT/ HCPCS code 0308T (insertion of ocular telescope prosthesis including removal of crystalline lens) is payable. Further, claims submitted by Part A providers and ambulatory surgical centers for device pass-through category C1840 must be billed with HCPCS code 0308T (insertion of ocular telescope prosthesis including removal of crystalline lens) to receive pass-through payment. 0387T, 0389T, 0390T, and 0391T The leadless pacemaker eliminates the need for a device pocket and insertion of a pacing lead which are integral elements of traditional pacing systems. The removal of these elements eliminate an important source of complications associated with traditional pacing systems while providing similar benefits. Leadless pacemakers are delivered via catheter to the heart, and function similarly to other transvenous single-chamber ventricular pacemakers. Effective January 18, 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) covers leadless pacemakers through Coverage with Evidence Development (CED). CMS covers leadless pacemakers when procedures are performed in Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved studies. CMS also covers, in prospective longitudinal studies, leadless pacemakers that are used in accordance with the FDA approved label for devices that have either: - an associated ongoing FDA approved post-approval study; or - completed an FDA post-approval study. Please see NCD for Leadless Pacemakers (20.8.4) for claims processing instructions (see CR 10117, Transmittal #3815, dated 07/28/2017). 0394T, 0395T High dose electronic brachytherapy for skin surface application and for interstitial or intracavitary treatment, respectively. Was code 0182T prior to 01/01/2016. It is reimbursable with documentation of medical necessity. Printed on 9/26/2017. Page 8 of 10
