Billing
As of October 1, 2015, ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes replaced the previous ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes in all health care settings for diagnosis reporting. ICD-9 codes are no longer accepted or provided evidence of medical necessity for ordered laboratory services.
Please see our summary of changes that specifically pertain to the diagnosis codes that may indicate PancraGen®.
PancraGen, powered by PathfinderTG, is covered under local Medicare policy L34864 – Loss of Heterozygosity Based Topographic Genotyping with PathfinderTG. You can reference this policy on the CMS website at: http://go.cms.gov/1iePqm5. Also available on the CMS website is additional information for providers regarding ICD-10: www.cms.hhs.gov/icd10. Diagnosis codes submitted with test orders should always be based upon what can be supported within the patient’s medical record.
