1 Subject: Preventive Services Health First Billing Guideline Effective: January 1, 2013 Last Updated: December 2013 Background: Health First is committed to the wellness of its members and encourages preventive services that can detect serious medical issues early. Certain preventive services are covered in full at no cost to the member due to plan provisions or regulatory requirements, and these services are addressed in this billing guideline. For both and lines of business, it contains procedure codes recognized to report preventive services, frequency and diagnosis code limits, and separate payment policies. Not all services listed are covered by all plans, so be sure to verify benefits. References: The Afdable Care Act (ACA) requires full coverage of the following preventive services non grandfathered* plans: Services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) with a rating of A or B. Immunizations recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) routine use in children, adolescents, and adults. Preventive care and screenings women, infants, children, and adolescents that are provided in the comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Health First continually monitors changes to preventive service guidelines, and will adjust coverage as required by law. For an official current list of recommended preventive services, visit has adopted many, but not all, of these recommendations. Any differences in coverage and billing rules are noted. For details about Original coverage of preventive services, see The Guide to Preventive Services, Fourth Edition, available at pdf * A grandfathered plan is not required to implement preventive services provisions of the ACA. Contact us to verify benefits if you have questions. Tips: 1) Preventive office visit coding: A preventive office visit must be billed with a preventive (routine) office visit E/M code. A problem oriented E/M code will not be covered as a preventive benefit. a. A problem oriented E/M code will be denied if submitted with a primay preventive diagnosis code. b. A preventive E/M code will be denied if submitted with a primary problem oriented diagnosis code. 2) Preventive and problem oriented E/M codes billed together: Preventive E/M codes include a comprehensive exam, encompassing management of chronic and/or stable conditions, abnormal findings on review of systems, and diagnosis and treatment of minor conditions. It is rare that a separate E/M code is justified because its components cannot be independently met, however when documentation is provided that supports reporting the separate service and the problem E/M code is billed with modifier 25, separate payment may be considered. 3) Diagnosis code limits: Where diagnosis code limits are indicated, payment may be denied if a different code is billed. Be sure to use the appropriate primary diagnosis code each service reported on a claim. a. If a test not clearly described as a screening exam is billed with a diagnosis code not listed in this guideline, it may be covered as a diagnostic test with applicable cost share. 4) Frequency limits: If a preventive service is provided more often than indicated, payment may be denied. a. If a test not clearly described as a screening exam is billed more often than indicated in this guideline, it may be covered as a diagnostic test with applicable cost share.
