1 Policy Number 2018R0006G Annual Approval Date Supply Policy, Professional 11/15/2017 Approved By Reimbursement Policy Oversight Committee IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS You are responsible for submission of accurate claims. This reimbursement policy is intended to ensure that you are reimbursed based on the code or codes that correctly describe the health care services provided. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan reimbursement policies uses Current Procedural Terminology (CPT *), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or other coding guidelines. References to CPT or other sources are for definitional purposes only and do not imply any right to reimbursement. This reimbursement policy applies to all health care services billed on CMS 1500 forms and, when specified, to those billed on UB04 forms. Coding methodology, industry-standard reimbursement logic, regulatory requirements, benefits design and other factors are considered in developing reimbursement policy. This information is intended to serve only as a general reference resource regarding UnitedHealthcare Community Plan s reimbursement policy for the services described and is not intended to address every aspect of a reimbursement situation. Accordingly, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan may use reasonable discretion in interpreting and applying this policy to health care services provided in a particular case. Further, the policy does not address all issues related to reimbursement for health care services provided to UnitedHealthcare Community Plan enrollees. Other factors affecting reimbursement supplement, modify or, in some cases, supersede this policy. These factors include, but are not limited to: federal &/or state regulatory requirements, the physician or other provider contracts, the enrollee s benefit coverage documents, and/or other reimbursement, medical or drug policies. Finally, this policy may not be implemented exactly the same way on the different electronic claims processing systems used by UnitedHealthcare Community Plan due to programming or other constraints; however, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan strives to minimize these variations. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan may modify this reimbursement policy at any time by publishing a new version of the policy on this Website. However, the information presented in this policy is accurate and current as of the date of publication. *CPT Copyright American Medical Association. All rights reserved. CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association. Application This reimbursement policy applies to UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Medicaid Product. This reimbursement policy applies to services reported using the 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form (a/k/a ) or its electronic equivalent or its successor form. With the exception of Home Health Care and Durable Medical Equipment, Orthotics and Prosthetic providers billing in place of service 12, this policy applies to all products and all network and nonnetwork physicians and other qualified health care professionals, including, but not limited to, non-network authorized and percent of charge contract physicians and other qualified health care professionals. Policy Overview This policy describes the reimbursement methodology for Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes representing supplies, drugs and other items based on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) National Physician Fee Schedule (NPFS) Relative Value File and the Place of Service (POS) submitted. The website containing the POS code set can be accessed via this link: CMS POS Code Set. Reimbursement Guidelines Supply Reimbursement in a Physician s or Other Qualified Healthcare Professional s Office Pursuant to CMS policy, certain HCPCS supply codes are not separately reimbursable as the cost of supplies is

2 incorporated into the Practice Expense Relative Value Unit (RVU) for the Evaluation and Management (E/M) service or procedure code. Consistent with CMS, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will not separately reimburse the HCPCS supply codes when those supplies are provided on the same day as an E/M service and/or procedure performed in a physician's or other health care professional's office and other nonfacility places of service. The UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Supply Policy Codes List contains the codes that are not separately reimbursable in an office and other nonfacility places of service. It is developed based on the CMS NPFS Relative Value File and consists of codes that based on their descriptions, CMS considers part of the practice expense and not separately reimbursable. Supply Policy Code List For the purposes of this policy, an office and other nonfacility place of service is considered POS 1, 3, 4, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 33, 49, 50, 54, 55, 57, 60, 62, 65, 71, 72, 81 and 99. Reimbursement for Supplies, Purchased Durable Medical Equipment (DME), Orthotics, Prosthetics, Biologicals, and Drugs submitted with a J Code Reported with Facility Places of Service 19, 21, 22, 23 and 24. CMS follows a Prospective Payment System (PPS) where Medicare payment is based on a predetermined, fixed amount payable to a facility for inpatient or outpatient hospital services. In addition, CMS reimburses ambulatory surgery centers under an Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) payment methodology. With these fixed rates all costs associated with drugs and supplies are also deemed included in the global payment to the facility and not considered separately reimbursable when reported on a claim form by a physician or other qualified health care professional. Consistent with CMS, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will not allow separate reimbursement for specific HCPCS supplies, purchased DME, orthotics, prosthetics, biologicals, and drugs reported with a HCPCS J code when submitted on a claim form by any physician or other qualified health care professional in the following facility POS: 19, 21, 22, 23, and 24. The UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Supply Policy Code list and Supply Facility J-Code Denial Code list contains the codes that are not separately reimbursable in a facility place of service. Supply Policy Code List Supply Facility J-Code Denial Code List In addition, the purchase of certain DME, orthotics, and prosthetics will not be separately reimbursed when reported by a physician or health care professional on a claim form in POS 19, 21, 22, 23 or 24 and the services are reported with no modifier or with one of the following purchase modifiers: NU New Equipment (use the NR modifier when DME which was new at the time of rental is subsequently purchased). UE Used Equipment NR New when rented KM Replacement of facial prosthesis including new impression/moulage KN Replacement of facial prosthesis using previous master model Supply DME Codes in a Facility Setting Supply DME Codes in an Ambulatory Surgical Center For the purposes of this policy, a facility place of service is considered POS 19, 21, 22, 23, and 24. Durable Medical Equipment, Orthotics, Prosthetics, and Related Supplies Reported with Facility Places of Service 31 and 32 In alignment with the CMS PPS reimbursement methodology, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan considers payment for certain DME, orthotics, prosthetics and related supply items on the CMS Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) fee schedule to be included in the payment to a skilled nursing facility (POS 31) and nursing facility (POS 32) and not reimbursed separately when reported by a physician or other qualified health care professional on a claim form: For the purposes of this policy, skilled nursing facility and nursing facility places of service are considered POS 31 and 32.

3 Casting and Splint Supplies HCPCS codes A4570, A4580, and A4590 which were previously used for billing of splints and casts are invalid for Medicare use effective July 1, 2001, and new temporary Q codes were established to reimburse physicians and other practitioners for the supplies used in creating casts. Consistent with CMS, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will no longer reimburse HCPCS codes A4570, A4580, and A4590 for casting and splint supplies. Physicians and other qualified health care professionals should be using the temporary Q codes (Q4001-Q4051) for reimbursement of casting and splint supplies. Implantable Tissue Markers CMS clarifies that implantable tissue markers (HCPCS code A4648) and implantable radiation dosimeters (HCPCS code A4650) are separately billable and payable when used in conjunction with CPT codes 19499, 32553, or on a claim for physician services. Consistent with CMS, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will allow separate reimbursement for HCPCS codes A4648 and A4650 when billed on the same date of service with either CPT codes 19499, 32553, or If not reported with at least one of these CPT codes, HCPCS codes A4648 and A4650 are not separately reimbursable. Supply Code For reimbursement of covered medical and surgical supplies, an appropriate Level II HCPCS code must be submitted. The non-specific CPT code (supplies and materials, except spectacles, provided by the physician or other qualified health care professional over and above those usually included with the office visit or other services rendered [list drugs, trays, supplies, or materials provided]) is not reimbursable in any setting.

Definitions National Physician Fee Schedule Relative Value File Practice Expense Relative Value Units Relative Value Units A public use file that contains information on services covered by the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS). The file contains the associated Relative Value Units (RVUs), a fee schedule status indicator, and various payment policy indicators needed for payment adjustment (e.g., payment of assistant at surgery, team surgery, bilateral surgery).

5 either from the CMS NPFS Non-Facility Total value or Facility Total value. Questions and Answers Q: If a member obtains medical supplies such as blood glucose test strips or lancets from a medical supply company, what place of service should the medical supply company report? 1 A: Since the items are for home use, the medical supply company should report with a CMS Place of Service code 12 (Home). Reporting any other place of service code than 12 would be inappropriate when the items are dispensed for home use. Q: Why does this policy not address all codes with an NPFS status code indicator of B? 2 A: Codes from the NPFS with a status of "B," but otherwise addressed in other UnitedHealthcare Community Plan coverage documents or medical, reimbursement and other policies, are not included in this policy.
