PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC SERVICES – ASSIGNMENT OF PROCEDURE CODES 00.51 AND 00.53
| To: | Enrolled Hospitals |
| Date: | September 30, 2002 |
| Re: | PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC SERVICES – ASSIGNMENT OF PROCEDURE CODES 00.51 AND 00.53 |
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has notified the Department of the assignment of ICD-9-CM procedure codes 00.51 (implantation of cardiac resynchronization defibrillator, total system (CRT-D)) and 00.53 (implantation or replacement of cardiac resynchronization pacemaker pulse generator only (CRT–P)) effective October 1, 2002. For dates of service prior to October 1, the Department utilized these codes as local codes for psychiatric clinic type A and type B services, respectively.
For dates of service on or after October 1, 2002, hospitals cannot use procedure codes 00.51 and 00.53 to denote psychiatric clinic services. These two codes (with the newly assigned descriptions), will be added to the Ambulatory Procedures Listing (APL) effective for dates of service on or after October 1, 2002.
There will be no other ICD-9-CM codes to replace the procedures currently covered under 00.51 and 00.53 on the UB-92 claim form for psychiatric clinic services. Effective for dates of service on or after October 1, 2002, hospitals must use one of the HCPCS codes shown on the attachment to this notice to specify the appropriate psychiatric clinic service being billed. The HCPCS code must be placed in Form Locator 44 and aligned with the psychiatric service revenue code in Form Locator 42. This is similar to the coding mechanism that hospitals already use to denote emergency department services. Hospitals must still continue to utilize category of service 27 (for type A clinic services) or category of service 28 (for type B clinic services) in form locator 56P to indicate the appropriate psychiatric service being billed.
Rates for the psychiatric clinic services will remain the same. If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact your UB-92 billing consultant in the Bureau of Comprehensive Health Services at 217-782-5565.
