1 POLICY PG-0246 EFFECTIVE /01/09 LAST REVIEW... 03/11/14 MEDICAL POLICY: Routine Foot Care Services GUIDELINES This policy does not certify benefits or authorization of benefits, which is designated by each individual policyholder contract. Paramount applies coding edits to all medical claims through coding logic software to evaluate the accuracy and adherence to accepted national standards. This guideline is solely for explaining correct procedure reporting and does not imply coverage and reimbursement. DESCRIPTION Foot Care involves all aspects of preventative and corrective care of the foot and ankle. This includes examination and diagnostic services associated with routine foot care performed in the absence of a localized illness, symptoms, or injury. These routine foot care services are defined and reported with the following procedure codes: 11055, 11056, 11057, 11719, 11720, 11721, G0127, and G0247. Services that are considered routine foot care include, but are not limited to, any of the following: Cutting or removal of corns and calluses Clipping, trimming, or debridement of nails, including debridement of mycotic nails Shaving, paring, cutting or removal of keratoma, tyloma, and heloma Non-definitive simple palliative treatments like shaving or paring of plantar warts which do not require thermal or chemical cautery, and curettage Other hygienic and preventive maintenance care in the realm of self care, such as cleaning and soaking the feet, and the use of skin creams to maintain skin tone of both ambulatory and bedridden patients Any services performed in the absence of localized illness, injury, or symptoms involving the foot POLICY Routine foot care is non-covered for HMO, PPO, Individual Marketplace, Elite, & Advantage. Non-Routine Foot Care that meets medically indicated criteria does not require prior authorization. Foot care becomes non-routine and medically necessary for specific medical conditions referred to as Exceptions to Routine Foot Care Exclusion: Services normally considered routine may be covered if they are performed as a necessary and integral part of otherwise covered services, such as diagnosis and treatment of ulcers, wounds, or infections. The presence of a systemic condition, such as metabolic, neurologic, or peripheral vascular disease, of sufficient severity that performance of such services by a nonprofessional person would put the patient at risk (for example, a systemic condition that has resulted in severe circulatory embarrassment or areas of desensitization in the patient s legs or feet). Treatment of warts on the foot is covered to the same extent as services provided for the treatment of warts located elsewhere on the body. Treatment of mycotic nails may be covered in the absence of a systemic condition if the following criteria are met: o Clinical evidence of mycosis of the toenail, and o Patient has marked limitation of ambulation, pain, and/or secondary infection resulting from the thickening and dystrophy of the infected toenail plate Procedures for treating toenails are covered for the following: o o Onychogryphosis (defined as long-standing thickening, in which typically a curved hooked nail (ram's horn nail) occurs), and there is marked limitation of ambulation, pain, and/or secondary infection where the nail plate is causing symptomatic indentation of or minor laceration of the affected distal toe Onychauxis (defined as a thickening (hypertrophy) of the base of the nail/nail bed) and there is marked limitation of ambulation, pain, and/or secondary infection that causes symptoms
2 -2- Medicare defined the conditions and placed them into classes (identified by specific modifiers) which may assist in the reporting of the medical conditions currently present in the member, supporting the medical necessity for foot care. These modifiers are recognized as valid; however, have no claims processing value 1. Class A (modifier Q7) findings one required Non-traumatic amputation of foot or integral skeletal portion 2. Class B (modifier Q8) findings two required Absent posterior tibial pulse Advanced trophic changes as evidenced by any three of the following: o Hair growth (decrease or absence) o Nail changes (thickening) o Pigmentary changes (discoloration) o Skin texture changes (thin, shiny) o Skin color changes (rubor or redness); and Absent dorsalis pedis pulse 3. Class C (modifier Q9) findings one Class B and two Class C findings required Claudication Temperature changes Paresthesias Burning Edema HMO, PPO, Individual Marketplace, Elite, Advantage Routine foot care is non-covered for any of these members. Podiatry services become medically necessary and not routine, when the routine service is performed for a medically approved condition as listed above and will be allowed six times a year (once every 60 calendar days). Procedures are reimbursable only if the patient is under the active care of a doctor of medicine or osteopathy (MD or DO) or qualified non-physician practitioner for the treatment and/or evaluation of the complicating disease process during the six (6) month period prior to the rendition of the routine-type service or if the patient had come under a physician s care shortly after the services were furnished. While the modifiers for foot conditions will be recognized as valid, these services will only be allowed when the diagnosis supporting medical necessity is included. Routine foot care, removal and/or trimming of corns, calluses and/or nails, and preventive maintenance in specific medical conditions (procedure code S0390), is considered a non-covered service. The provider should report the correct procedure code for the service performed. This service will be denied for all product lines. For Advantage members, procedures 11719, G0127, G0245, G0246, G0247, and S0390 are non-covered per Medicaid Appendix DD.
