1 HCPCS Level II for Payers 2006
2 Introduction Organization of HCPCS The Ingenix 2006 HCPCS Level II book contains mandated changes and new codes for use as of January 1, eleted codes have also been indicated and cross-referenced to active codes when possible. New codes have been added to the appropriate sections, eliminating the time-consuming step of looking in two places for a code. However, keep in mind that the information in this book is a reproduction of the 2006 HCPCS; additional information on coverage issues may have been provided to Medicare contractors after publication. All contractors periodically update their systems and records throughout the year. If this book does not agree with your contractor, it is either because of a mid-year update or correction, or a specific local or regional coverage policy. To make this year s HCPCS book even more useful, we have included codes noted in addendum B of the November 2005 OPPS update as published in the Federal Register and from transmittals through 2005 that include codes not discussed in other CMS documents. The sources for these codes are often noted in blue beneath the description. individual ranges of codes. Just look up the medical or surgical supply, service, orthotic, prosthetic, or generic or brand name drug in question to find the appropriate codes. This index also refers to many of the brand names by which these items are known. Table of rugs The brand names listed are examples only and may not include all products available for that type of drug. Our table of drugs lists HCPCS codes from any available sections including A codes, C codes, J codes, S codes, and Q codes under brand and generic drug names with amount, route of administration, and code numbers. While we try to make the table comprehensive, it is not all-inclusive. Color-coded Coverage Instructions The Ingenix HCPCS Level II codebook provides colored symbols for each coverage and reimbursement instruction. A legend to these symbols is provided on the bottom of each two-page spread. Index Since HCPCS is organized by code number rather than by service or supply name, the index enables the coder to locate any code without looking through How to Use Ingenix HCPCS Level II Books Blue Color Bar Special Coverage Instructions A blue bar for special coverage instructions over a code means that special coverage instructions apply to that code. These special instructions are also typically given in the form of Medicare Pub.100 reference numbers. The appendixes provide the full text of the cited Medicare Pub.100 references. Yellow Color Bar Carrier iscretion Issues that are left to contractor discretion are covered with a yellow bar. Contact the contractor for specific coverage information on those codes. <b>a4211 <o>a4248 Supplies for self-administered injections Chlorhexidine containing antiseptic, 1 ml Red Color Bar Not Covered by or Invalid for Medicare Codes that are not covered by or are invalid for Medicare are covered by a red bar. The pertinent Medicare Internet-only manuals (pub. 100) reference numbers are also given explaining why a particular code is not covered. These numbers refer to the appendixes, where we have listed the Medicare references. <o>a4223 Infusion supplies not used with external infusion pump, per cassette or bag (list drugs separately) The Ingenix HCPCS Level II codes follow the AMA CPT code book conventions to indicate new, revised, and deleted codes. A black circle (l) precedes a new code. A black triangle (s) precedes a code with revised terminology or rules. A circle (l) precedes a reinstated code. Codes deleted from the 2005 active codes appear with a strike-out. Quantity Alert Many codes in HCPCS report quantities that may not coincide with quantities available in the marketplace. For instance, a HCPCS code for an ostomy pouch with skin barrier reports each pouch, but the product is generally sold in a package of 10; 10 must be indicated in the quantity box on the CMS claim form to ensure proper reimbursement. This symbol indicates that care should be taken to verify quantities in this code. l A4411 Ostomy skin barrier, solid 4x4 or equivalent, extended wear, with built-in convexity, each s A4641 Radiopharmaceutical, diagnostic, not otherwise classified l J7620 Albuterol, up to 2.5 mg and ipratropium bromide, up to 0.5 mg, non-compounded A4260 Levonorgestrel (contraceptive) implants system, including implants and supplies See code(s) J A4207 Syringe with needle, sterile 2 cc, each 2006 HCPCS Introduction iii

See references help you determine related or alternate codes for the supply or service. J7502 Cyclosporine, oral, 100 mg Use this code for Neoral, Sandimmune, Gengraf, Sangcya. See also code: C9438 CMS does not use consistent terminology when a code for a specific procedure is not listed. The code description may include any of the following terms: unlisted, not otherwise classified (NOC), unspecified, unclassified, other, and miscellaneous. If you are sure there is no code for the service or supply provided or used, be sure to provide adequate documentation to the payer. Check with the payer for more information.

4 APC Status Indicators A-Y APC Status Indicators Status indicators identify how individual HCPCS Level II codes are paid or not paid under the OPPS. The same status indicator is assigned to all the codes within an APC. Consult the payer or resource to learn which CPT codes fall within various APCs. Status indicators for HCPCS and their definitions are below: A Indicates services that are paid under some other method such as the MEPOS fee schedule or the physician fee schedule B Indicates codes not allowed or paid under OPPS C Indicates inpatient services that are not paid under the OPPS E Indicates services for which payment is not allowed under the OPPS. In some instances, the service is not covered by Medicare. In other instances, Medicare does not use the code in question but does use another code to describe the service F Indicates corneal tissue acquisition costs, certain CRNA services and hepatitis B vaccines that are paid at reasonable cost G Indicates a current drug or biological for which payment is made under the transitional pass-through provisions H Indicates either a device paid under pass-through provisions; or brachytherapy sources and radiopharmaceuticals that are paid at reasonable cost K Indicates non-pass-through drugs and biologicals. Effective July 1, 2001, co-payments for these items and the service of the administration of the items are aggregated and may not exceed the inpatient hospital deductible. L Indicates influenza or pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine paid as of reasonable cost with no deductable or coinsurance M Indicates that this code should not be reported by hospitals to their fiscal intermediary N Indicates services that are incidental, with payment packaged into another service or APC group P Indicates services paid only in partial hospitalization programs S Indicates significant procedures for which payment is allowed under the hospital OPPS but to which the multiple procedure reduction does not apply T Indicates surgical services for which payment is allowed under the hospital OPPS. Services with this payment indicator are the only ones to which the multiple procedure payment reduction applies. V Indicates visits for which payment is allowed under the hospital OPPS X Indicates ancillary services for which payment is allowed under the hospital OPPS Y Indicates nonimplantable durable medical equipment (ME) that is billed by providers other than home health agencies to the MERC The Q icon is not included because there are no codes that have a Q status indicator in the 2006 HCPCS Level II code set.
