1 Following is the 2017 HCPCS, which will be implemented on January 1, The inclusion of a procedure code does not necessarily indicate that it will be a covered procedure. This listing contains the addition, revision and deletion of codes, with a cross-reference provided when possible. The descriptors for the CPT national codes can be obtained from several sources, including the AMA. Visit the AMA s web site at or call them at (800) The alpha-numeric codes with descriptors is located on the Provider Resource Center under Claims, Payment & Reimbursement at the link titled HCPCS Alpha Numeric Codes. While the entire listing is extremely important, please note in particular the following changes: Conscious Sedation Codes Beginning January 1, 2017, the AMA is making significant changes to how providers are being reimbursed for conscious sedation. Due to the fact that codes previously included conscious sedation in the standard fee and going forward will not, we will be evaluating our currents fees for these impacted codes and making adjustments as appropriate. Going forward, providers rendering services for conscious sedation should use the appropriate code listed below based on the services provided. CODE TERMINOLOGY MODERATE SEDATION SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SAME PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMING THE DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC SERVICE THAT THE SEDATION SUPPORTS, REQUIRING THE PRESENCE OF AN INDEPENDENT TRAINED OBSERVER TO ASSIST IN THE MONITORING OF THE PATIENT'S LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STATUS; INITIAL 15 MINUTES OF INTRASERVICE TIME, PATIENT YOUNGER THAN 5 YEARS OF AGE QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMING THE DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC SERVICE THAT THE SEDATION SUPPORTS, REQUIRING THE PRESENCE OF AN INDEPENDENT TRAINED OBSERVER TO ASSIST IN THE MONITORING OF THE PATIENT'S LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STATUS; INITIAL 15 MINUTES OF INTRASERVICE TIME, PATIENT AGE 5 YEARS OR OLDER MODERATE SEDATION SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SAME PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMING THE DIAGNOSTIC OR 1

3 Effective January 1, 2017, Highmark will only apply a lower MPPR of 5 percent for the Professional Component of each additional procedure furnished by the same physician (or physician in the same group practice) to the same patient, in the same session on the same day. New Bundled Mammography and CAD Codes Codes 77051, 77052, 77055, 77056, and were deleted and three new codes were created to bundle mammography and computer-aided detection (CAD) services. Code is unilateral mammography with CAD; code is bilateral mammography with CAD; and code is bilateral screening mammography with CAD. New G Codes (G0493-G0496) The following G codes will be non-covered as they are primarily related to facility based services: CODE G0493 G0494 G0495 G0496 TERMINOLOGY SKILLED SERVICES OF A REGISTERED NURSE (RN) FOR THE OBSERVATION AND ASSESSMENT OF THE PATIENT'S CONDITION, EACH 15 MINUTES (THE CHANGE IN THE PATIENT'S CONDITION REQUIRES SKILLED NURSING PERSONNEL TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE PATIENT'S NEED FOR POSSIBLE MODIFICATION OF TREATMENT IN THE HOME HEALTH OR HOSPICE SETTING) SKILLED SERVICES OF A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE (LPN) FOR THE OBSERVATION AND ASSESSMENT OF THE PATIENT'S CONDITION, EACH 15 MINUTES (THE CHANGE IN THE PATIENT'S CONDITION REQUIRES SKILLED NURSING PERSONNEL TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE PATIENT'S NEED FOR POSSIBLE MODIFICATION OF TREATMENT IN THE HOME HEALTH OR HOSPICE SETTING) SKILLED SERVICES OF A REGISTERED NURSE (RN), IN THE TRAINING AND/OR EDUCATION OF A PATIENT OR FAMILY MEMBER, IN THE HOME HEALTH OR HOSPICE SETTING, EACH 15 MINUTES SKILLED SERVICES OF A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE (LPN), IN THE TRAINING AND/OR EDUCATION OF A PATIENT OR FAMILY MEMBER, IN THE HOME HEALTH OR HOSPICE SETTING, EACH 15 MINUTES 3

4 New Modifier FX CMS has established modifier FX to be reported to indicate that an imaging service that is an X-ray, was taken using film equipment. CMS plans to apply a 20% payment reduction to the technical component (and the technical component of the global fee) to services reported with the FX modifier. Highmark plans to implement a similar reduction for Commercial and Medicare Advantage products in the future, and will provide additional information when available. Pathology and Laboratory CMS has deleted the drug assay codes and established three new codes for reporting presumptive drug testing. These three codes are reported once per day of service regardless of the number of that type of test performed. Listed below are the codes and terminology: CODE TERMINOLOGY DRUG TEST(S), PRESUMPTIVE, ANY NUMBER OF DRUG CLASSES, ANY NUMBER OF DEVICES OR PROCEDURES (EG, IMMUNOASSAY); CAPABLE OF BEING READ BY DIRECT OPTICAL OBSERVATION ONLY (EG, DIPSTICKS, CUPS, CARDS, CARTRIDGES) INCLUDES SAMPLE VALIDATION WHEN PERFORMED, PER DATE OF SERVICE DRUG TEST(S), PRESUMPTIVE, ANY NUMBER OF DRUG CLASSES, ANY NUMBER OF DEVICES OR PROCEDURES (EG, IMMUNOASSAY); READ BY INSTRUMENT ASSISTED DIRECT OPTICAL OBSERVATION (EG, DIPSTICKS, CUPS, CARDS, CARTRIDGES), INCLUDES SAMPLE VALIDATION WHEN PERFORMED, PER DATE OF SERVICE DRUG TEST(S), PRESUMPTIVE, ANY NUMBER OF DRUG CLASSES, ANY NUMBER OF DEVICES OR PROCEDURES, BY INSTRUMENT CHEMISTRY ANALYZERS (EG, UTILIZING IMMUNOASSAY [EG, EIA, ELISA, EMIT, FPIA, IA, KIMS, RIA]), CHROMATOGRAPHY (EG, GC, HPLC), AND MASS SPECTROMETRY EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT CHROMATOGRAPHY, (EG, DART, DESI, GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, LC-MS, LC- MS/MS, LDTD, MALDI, TOF) INCLUDES SAMPLE VALIDATION WHEN PERFORMED, PER DATE OF SERVICE 4

5 Ophthalmology Codes and were revised to state they would be used for unilateral or bilateral therefore, it would not be appropriate to report the bilateral modifier. Listed below are the codes and terminology: CODE TERMINOLOGY FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY (INCLUDES MULTIFRAME IMAGING) WITH INTERPRETAT7ION AND REPORT, UNILATERAL AND BILATERAL INDOCYANIN7E-GREEN ANGIOGRAPHY (INCLUDES MULTIFRAME IMAGING) WITH INTERPRETATION AND REPORT, UNILATERAL OR BILATERAL Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation The AMA added new subsections for Physical Therapy Evaluations, Occupational Therapy Evaluations, and Athletic Training Evaluations with new codes and levels of complexity (low, moderate and high) for the evaluation services. New codes for re-evaluations were also added including requirements for when they can be reported. The definitions of the levels of complexity for these codes are different from those in the E/M codes. Code is for the physical therapy evaluation with low level of complexity, is the PT evaluation with moderate level complexity, is for the PT evaluation with high level complexity, and is for the PT re-evaluation. Code is for the occupational therapy evaluation with low level of complexity, is the OT evaluation with moderate level complexity, is for the OT evaluation with high level complexity, and is for the OT re-evaluation. Code is for the athletic training evaluation with low level of complexity, is the AT evaluation with moderate level complexity, is for the AT evaluation with high level complexity, and is for the AT re-evaluation. Procedure codes have been deleted. AMA directs providers to report these deleted codes using procedure codes 97161, 97162, 97163, 97164, 97165, 97166, 97167, 97168, 97169, 97170, 97171,
