Provider Actions and Billing Considerations

Prior Authorization

Prior authorization may be required

Some preventive services listed in this policy are subject to medical policy review and may require prior authorization before preventive-level reimbursement is approved.

Prior Authorization

LDCT preauthorization

Low-dose CT for lung cancer screening (CPT 71271, HCPCS G0296) is reimbursable at the preventive level only when it meets medical policy criteria and may require preauthorization.

Procedure codes: 71271, G0296

Note

Breastfeeding supplies coverage

Electric breast pumps and associated breastfeeding supplies are covered at the preventive level, but quantity and item limits apply (see hospital-grade rental and one-per-benefit-period rules).

Background

Background: Section 2713 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires private health plans to cover preventive services recommended by the USPSTF, ACIP, and HRSA at no member cost-share for non‑grandfathered plans. The policy implements that requirement by covering USPSTF Grade A and B recommendations, ACIP immunizations consistent with CDC guidance, and HRSA women's preventive services when billed and documented according to the policy and the member's benefit plan.
