If you are ordering this test for a diagnostic condition other than those listed below, please have your patient sign and date an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN). All ICD-9-CM codes provided must be consistent with the documentation in the patient s medical records for the date of service. NOTE: Please be aware that it is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct, payable ICD-9-CM diagnosis code. The diagnosis must be present for the procedure to be paid. In addition, the procedure must be reasonable and necessary for that diagnosis. Documentation within the beneficiary's medical record must support the necessity for the test(s) provided for each date of service. For additional information, see the Limited Coverage Guidebook Information provided in this section. ICD-9-CM Codes Covered by Medicare Program: Salmonella septicemia Coccidiosis (Isoporiasis) Cryptosporidiosis Other specified protozoal intestinal diseases Primary tuberculous infection Pulmonary tuberculosis Other respiratory tuberculosis Tuberculosis of meninges and central nervous system Tuberculosis of intestines, peritoneum and mesenteric glands Tuberculosis of bones and joints Tuberculosis of genitourinary system Tuberculosis of other organs Miliary tuberculosis Listeriosis Diseases due to other mycobacteria Pneumococcal septicemia Septicemia (Pseudomonas) Actinomycotic infections (includes Nocardia) Pseudomonas infection 042 HIV disease (Acute retroviral syndrome, AIDS-related complex) Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy Other non-arthropod-borne viral diseases of central nervous system Postvaricella encephalitis/ varicella (hemorrhagic) pneumonitis Postvaricella myelitis * Chickenpox (with complication) Herpes zoster, with meningitis Herpes zoster with other nervous system complications Herpes zoster with ophthalmic complication Herpes zoster with other specified complications Herpes zoster unspecified or no complication mentioned 1 of 5

5 because they do not support medical necessity. * Frequency Limitations: The Western Blot test should be performed only after documentation that the initial EIA tests are repeatedly positive or equivocal on a single sample. If initial serologic tests confirm an HIV infection, repeat testing is not indicated. If initial serologic tests are HIV EIA negative and there is no indication for confirmation of infection by viral RNA detection, the interval prior to retesting is 3 6 months. * Testing for evidence of HIV infection using serologic methods may be medically appropriate in situations where there is a risk of exposure to HIV. However, in the absence of documented AIDS defining or HIV-associated disease, an HIV-associated sign or symptom, or documented exposure to a known HIVinfected source, the testing is considered by Medicare to be screening and thus is not covered by Medicare (for example, history of multiple blood component transfusions, exposure to blood or body fluids not resulting in consideration of therapy, history of transplant, history of illicit drug use, multiple sexual partners, same-sex encounters, prostitution, or contact with prostitutes). 5 of 5
