Genetic Testing for Neurological Disorders (for Idaho Only)
Policy governing coverage and medical necessity criteria for multi-gene (>=5 genes) genetic testing for neurological disorders for members in Idaho, including Idaho Medicaid Plus plans, and guidance for ordering clinicians and documentation.
Multi-gene Targeted Panel testing (five or more genes) for neurological disorders is proven and medically necessary when specific clinical and ordering criteria are met.
Comprehensive panel tests intended to evaluate multiple genes associated with multiple categories of clinically distinct neurological disorders are unproven and not medically necessary.
Removed CPT codes 0417U, 81440, 81460, and 81465.
Medical records documentation may be required to assess whether the member meets the clinical criteria for coverage and must support medical necessity.
Added definitions for Ataxia, Comprehensive Panel, Congenital Myopathy, Metabolic Myopathy, and Targeted Panel; removed definitions for CGH, NMD, NGS, and VUS.
