The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) and third-party payers require medical diagnosis to justify ordering healthcare services. If you order a service that has a specific NCD or LCD, please verify the diagnosis code for that test to ensure the diagnosis information you are providing to us meets medical necessity criteria determined by CMS. If the patient’s diagnosis does not meet medical necessity criteria determined by CMS, you should notify the patient that Medicare or Medicaid is not likely to pay for the services and request them to sign a waiver of responsibility, known as an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN). This waiver serves as a notice to the patient that if CMS does not cover the services due to frequency or medical necessity that the patient is responsible for the charges for those services. This notice must be given to the patient prior to the service thus allowing the patient the options provided by CMS. If the patient refuses to sign the ABN, thus choosing not to take responsibility or indicates that they do not want this testing, then the physician must weigh the necessity for the test. This information is provided to assist you in making the best possible decisions for your patient. As always, we value your trust in Principle Health Systems and appreciate your business.
