When deciding cverage, the enrllee specific dcument must be referenced. The terms f an enrllee's dcument (e.g., Certificate f Cverage (COC) r Evidence f Cverage (EOC)) may differ greatly. In the event f a cnflict, the enrllee's specific benefit dcument supersedes this prtcl. All reviewers must first identify enrllee eligibility, any federal r state regulatry requirements and the plan benefit cverage prir t use f this Prtcl. Other Prtcls, Plicies and Cverage Determinatin Guidelines may apply. UnitedHealthcare reserves the right, in its sle discretin, t mdify its Prtcls, Plicies and Guidelines as necessary.

COMMERCIAL & MEDICAID COVERAGE RATIONALE Fr infrmatin regarding medical necessity review, when applicable, see MCG Care Guidelines, 20th Editin, 2016 Hip Arthrplasty, S-560 (ISC), accessed April MCG Care Guidelines: Hip Arthrplasty, S-560 Clinical Indicatins fr Prcedure: Prcedure may be indicated fr 1 r mre f the fllwing: Degenerative jint disease is needed as indicated by ALL f the fllwing: Presence f significant radigraphic findings (eg, hip jint destructin, severe narrwing, bne defrmities, stenecrsis) Optimal medical management has been tried and failed. Patient has failed r is nt a candidate fr mre cnservative measures (eg, stetmy, hemiarthrplasty). Hip Replacement Surgery (Arthrplasty) Page 1 f 6
2 Treatment is needed because f 1 r mre f the fllwing: Disabling pain Functinal disability Primary and secndary tumrs invlving the prximal femur Ostenecrsis f femral head Develpmental dysplasia f hip Displaced fracture f the femral neck in a patient withut significant cgnitive impairment Acetabular fracture Failed previus hip fracture fixatin Revisin f hip arthrdesis Revisin f previus arthrplasty r resurfacing indicated by 1 r mre f the fllwing: Instability f ne r bth cmpnents Fracture r mechanical failure f the implant Recurrent r irreducible dislcatin Infectin Treatment f a displaced periprsthetic fracture Tissue r systemic reactin t metal implant Criteria Multivariate adjusted analysis f a database including 3421 surgens, 312 hspitals, and 182,146 patients reprted that high surgen vlume (median 278 prcedures a year) f ttal hip r knee arthrplasty was independently assciated with lwer risk f surgical cmplicatins, lwer rates f readmissin and reperatin, shrter lengths f hspital stay, and higher likelihds f being discharged t hme rather than t a skilled nursing r rehabilitatin facility. In this same analysis, cmpared with lw hspital vlume (median 181 patients a year), high hspital vlume (median 1007 patients a year) was independently assciated with lwer risk f mrtality, lwer risk f readmissin, and higher likelihd f being discharged hme. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses f randmized cntrlled trials reprted that, cmpared with pen reductin and internal fixatin r hemiarthrplasty, ttal hip arthrplasty resulted in imprved clinical utcmes in elderly patients with a displaced femral neck fracture and withut significant cgnitive impairment. A chrt analysis f mre than 2600 patients underging either bilateral simultaneus r unilateral ttal hip arthrplasty fund similar rates f periperative mrtality and pstperative cmplicatins in bth grups but lnger lengths f stay and a higher rate f bld transfusins in the bilateral grup. **End f MCG Fr infrmatin regarding medical necessity review, when applicable, see MCG Care Guidelines, 20th Editin, 2016, Hip: Displaced Fracture f Femral Neck, Hemiarthrplasty, S-600 (ISC), accessed April MCG Care Guidelines: Hip: Displaced Fracture f Femral Neck, Hemiarthrplasty, S-600 (ISC) Clinical Indicatins fr Prcedure Prcedure is indicated fr 1 r mre f the fllwing: Displaced fracture f femral neck in lder patient (eg, 65 years r lder) Fracture-dislcatin f hip in lder patient (eg, 65 years r lder) Reductin r fixatin f hip fracture that cannt be maintained Hip Replacement Surgery (Arthrplasty) Page 2 f 6

In the same analysis, high surgen vlume was independently assciated with reduced inpatient mrtality, and bth high surgen and high hspital vlume were independently assciated with reduced pstperative mrbidity (eg, need fr bld transfusin, pstperative infectin). A systematic review and meta-analysis f 20 randmized cntrlled trials (4509 patients) fund that arthrplasty (hemi r ttal) led t imprved hip functin, decreased pain, and decreased need fr reperatin when cmpared t internal fixatin and repair in patients with a displaced femral neck fracture. A systematic review and meta-analysis f 12 randmized cntrlled studies (1320 patients) with displaced femral neck fractures fund that ttal hip arthrplasty resulted in higher hip functinal scres and a lwer risk f subsequent reperatin but in greater dislcatin rates when cmpared t hemiarthrplasty. A study f 2056 patients (mean age 81 years) with hip fracture fund, after multivariate adjustment, that each 12- hur delay frm admissin t surgery was independently assciated with an increased rate f inhspital mrtality. A systematic review and meta-analysis f 35 studies including 191,873 hip fracture patients fund that a shrter time interval t surgery was assciated with decreased mrtality, and that this assciatin persisted when analysis was limited t studies that emplyed adjustment fr cnfunding variables. ***End f MCG MEDICARE COVERAGE RATIONALE Medicare des nt have a Natinal Cverage Determinatin, but des have a Lcal Cverage Determinatin fr Nevada fr Ttal Jint Arthrplasty (L34163) (Accessed April 2016).
