3 Coding Requirements (HCPCS, ICD-9-CM, E & M) EqualityCare Coding Guidelines When coding for EqualityCare you should be aware that CPT-4 codes and modifiers including their respective definitions were developed by the American Medical Association for providers to describe their services numerically for claim submission to insurers. These codes serve insurers as guidelines for claim adjudication but are not legally binding. EqualityCare has established specific guidelines, which must be followed for reimbursement. EqualityCare requires the use of uniform procedure and diagnosis coding on all claims. Evaluation and Management Services: EqualityCare follows the CPT-4 conventions regarding level of services for evaluation and management services. Diagnosis: Procedures: ICD-9 numeric diagnosis codes must be used. The code must include the fourth and fifth digit as appropriate. CPT (Physician's Current Procedural Terminology) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) assigned by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services must be used. NOTE: Procedure codes which are described as "unlisted procedures" must be submitted on paper to ACS, Provider Relations with a report attached to the claim for manual review. These codes should only be used for a new or unusual service. Provider may also bill electronically and mark the attachment box that indicates a paper attachment is forthcoming. 2
4 Basic Rules The CMS-1500 is the same claim form as the HCFA The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) has changed its name to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. ACS will honor both forms. Use one claim for each client. Be sure the information on the form is legible. Before You Begin Is the client eligible for EqualityCare on the date of service? Do you have a copy of the client's proof of eligibility? Does EqualityCare cover the service? Did you obtain prior authorization, if applicable? Have you checked to make sure the client does not have other insurance? If you do not have all of this information, review the instructions in Chapter Six of the General Manual, "Verifying Client Eligibility." If the response to all of the above questions is favorable, you can begin to fill out the claim form following the instructions in this module. Modifiers EqualityCare will accept any modifiers billed but only allows the modifiers listed below. EqualityCare limits the use of modifiers to specific ranges of procedure codes as follows: CODE RANGE TYPE OF SERVICE ACCEPTED MODIFIER ANESTHESIA NO MODIFIERS SURGERY 22, 50, 51, 62, 80, AS RADIOLOGY MRI: 22, 52 (NO FEE INCREASE WILL APPLY) TC, LAB QW 26 ONLY FOR MEDICINE 26, TC (no modifiers allowed for 90700) EVALUATION/MANAGEMENT NO MODIFIERS A0001 Z9999 HCPCS RR, 32 3
