4 March 3, 2016 | 2016 Copyright, CGS Administrators, EFFECTIVEA rticle GuidanceArticle TextCGS Administrators, LLC has determined in review of submitted claims that there is inappropriate use of CPT codes 96401-96449 for chemotherapy and other highly complex drug or highly complex biologic agent Current Procedural Terminology CPT 2016 Professional Edition, page 651 contains the following information and direction for the ADMINISTRATION of Chemotherapy CPT codes: Chemotherapy ADMINISTRATION codes 96401-96549 apply to parenteral ADMINISTRATION of non-radionuclide anti-neoplastic drugs; and also to anti-neoplastic agents provided for treatment of noncancer diagnoses (eg.)

5 Cyclophosphamide for auto-immune conditions) or to substances such as certain monoclonal antibody agents, and other biologic response modifiers. The highly complex infusion of chemotherapy or other drug or biologic agents requires physician or other qualified health care professional work and/or clinical staff monitoring well beyond that of therapeutic drug agents (96360-96379) because the incidence of severe adverse patient reactions are typically greater. These services can be provided by any physician or other qualified health care professional. Chemotherapy services are typically highly complex and require direct supervision for any or all purposes of patient assessment, provision of consent, safety oversight, and intraservice supervision of staff.

6 Typically, such chemotherapy services require advanced practice training and competency for staff who provide these services; special considerations for preparation, dosage, or disposal; and commonly, these services entail significant patient risk and frequent are frequent changes in the infusion rate, prolonged presence of the nurse administering the solution for patient monitoring and infusion adjustments, and frequent conferring with the physician or other qualified health care professional about these issues. When performed to facilitate the infusion of injection , preparation of chemotherapy agent(s), highly complex agent(s), or other highly complex drugs is included and is not reported separately.

7 To report infusions that do not require this level of complexity, see 96360-96379. Codes 96401-96402, 96409-96425, 96521-96523 are not intended to be reported by the individual physician or other qualified health care professional in the facility setting. Medicare has determined under Section 1861(t) that these drugs may be paid when they are administered incident to a physician s service and determined to be medically reasonable and necessary. Such determination of reasonable and necessary is currently left to the discretion of the Medicare contractors. The documentation in the patient s medical record must support the drugs as being medically reasonable and stated in the Internet Only Manual, CMS Pub 100-04-Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12-Physicians/Nonphysician Practitioners, Section Payment for Codes for Chemotherapy ADMINISTRATION and Nonchemotherapy Injections and Infusions, Part D-Chemotherapy ADMINISTRATION , local carriers may provide additional guidance as to which drugs may be considered to be chemotherapy drugs under Medicare.
