1 Annual Compliance Notice to Providers 2013 The Medicare and Medicaid Programs look to clinical laboratories to provide education to physician clients regarding medical necessity and laboratory billing compliance. This annual notice specifies current Medicare requirements and ACL Laboratories policies. Please review the information contained in this notice and contact Kathy Lindgren, ACL Compliance Officer, at ext. 7916, if you have any questions or concerns. Lab Ordering Documentation Physicians and non-physician providers authorized to order clinical laboratory testing must provide to ACL written or electronic orders that include sufficient information to identify the ordering provider s National Provider Identifier (NPI). In addition, the ordering provider must maintain documentation of the order for 7 years from the date of service. Medical Record documentation may be written or electronic, must be signed or electronically authorized, and support the specific services ordered for the patient s date of service. Requirements for Diagnostic Information Physicians and non-physician providers ordering laboratory testing must provide diagnostic information in the form of ICD-9 codes specific to the ordered test(s) at the time of order. When testing is ordered to determine or confirm a diagnosis, ICD-9 codes describing signs, symptoms or chief complaints should be provided. Tests ordered in the absence of confirmed diagnoses, signs, symptoms or complaints are considered screening. Medicare does not generally pay for tests when ordered as screening, unless the test(s) are eligible for preventive services coverage. Screening tests not covered by Medicare are the financial responsibility of the patient. Medical Necessity Medicare will only pay for laboratory testing that meets Medicare policy guidelines and is reasonable and necessary to treat or diagnose an individual patient. Even if a service is medically determined to be "reasonable and necessary," individual patient coverage may be limited if the service is provided more frequently than allowed under Medicare coverage policies. Click here to see a complete list of tests subject to 2013 Medicare coverage policies. Only tests that meet Medicare coverage policies may be submitted for reimbursement. Individuals who knowingly cause a false claim to be submitted to Medicare may be subject to sanctions or remedies available under civil, criminal and administrative law. To avoid false claim submission, be sure to: 1. Only order testing necessary for diagnosis or treatment. Note that all individual components of a panel or profile must be necessary for the panel/profile to qualify for Medicare reimbursement. 2. Provide a diagnosis, sign, symptom or complaint specific to each test ordered. 3. Document the necessity of testing in the patient s medical record. 4. Inform the patient via an ABN when testing does not meet Medicare coverage policies, or is being ordered more frequently than allowed by policy. P a g e 1
2 Preventive Services Medicare provides reimbursement for specific laboratory tests when all of the following criteria are met: 1. The test is reasonable and necessary for the prevention or early detection of illness, 2. It is recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) with a grade of A or B, and 3. It is appropriate for individuals entitled to benefits of the Medicare Program. Click here to see a complete list of tests covered by the Preventive Services program. In many cases, specific screening ICD-9 codes must be provided with the test order for benefits to apply. Tests with Preventive Services coverage are subject to frequency edits. Patients should be informed via an ABN when tests are ordered more frequently than benefits allow. Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) ABN Form CMS-R-131 is to be used to notify a Medicare Fee for Service beneficiary of testing we believe Medicare will not reimburse. A similar Notice of Noncoverage form is available from ACL for use when notifying a Medicare Advantage patient of testing we believe will not be reimbursed based on Medicare coverage policy. Reasons Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans may not pay for testing include: 1. The test is subject to a Medicare coverage policy and the diagnosis provided is not included in the policy (Medicare does not pay for this test for your condition). 2. The test has Preventive Services coverage, or other coverage limitations and is being ordered more frequently than allowed (Medicare does not pay for this test as often as this). 3. The test has not been deemed effective by Medicare for diagnosis or treatment (Medicare does not pay for experimental or research use tests) 4. The test does not have Preventive Services coverage and is ordered for routine screening. This is an optional use of the ABN. (Medicare does not pay for tests when ordered as screening) When testing is ordered for reasons Medicare will not reimburse, the patient must be allowed to make an informed consumer decision as to whether to have testing performed and assume financial responsibility of the costs. Click here to see Medicare ABN Form CMS-R-131 Click here to see the Medicare Advantage Notice of Noncoverage Form Profiles Although profiles and test combinations offer convenience in ordering, they may also result in the routine ordering of more tests than necessary to diagnose and treat patients. ACL limits the offering of profiles to those approved by the American Medical Association (AMA) and those approved by the laboratory s pathology medical directors. Please know what tests are included in the profile you order. To prevent test duplication, do not separately order individual tests already included in the profile. Also, if every test included in the profile is not necessary for diagnosis or treatment, order the individual tests needed rather than the profile. When in doubt as to which tests are included in a profile, please check the ACL Directory of Services at: P a g e 2
3 Reflex and Confirmation Testing Reflex testing occurs when initial test results are positive or outside normal parameters and general medical practice indicates a second related test is medically appropriate to confirm or validate the initial test results. The ACL Directory of Services identifies reflex and/or confirmation testing under Test Performance. When indicated, ACL will bill reflex and confirmation tests as well as the initial test. CPT Coding and Medicare / Medicaid Reimbursement ACL Laboratories maintains a directory of services that lists our clinical test menu, test order codes and CPT codes used to bill third parties. Correct CPT coding can vary by carrier; therefore, the codes referenced are intended as general guidelines and should not be used without confirming their appropriateness with applicable payers. The ACL Directory of Service can be accessed at: The 2013 Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule can be accessed at: Payment/ClinicalLabFeeSched/clinlab.html The 2013 Wisconsin Medicaid fee schedule can be accessed at: The 2013 Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services fee schedule can be accessed at: Clinical Consultant ACL Laboratories is affiliated with more than 80 board-certified pathologists in a variety of specialties that are available to provide technical or consultative services regarding appropriate test use and ordering. Please call the ACL Client Service department at for test assistance. P a g e 3
