MA00.003ae, Preventive Care Services
Independence Blue Cross Medicare Advantage policy MA00.003ah (effective 10/01/2025) updates preventive care coverage codes and criteria across multiple screening services. Key changes include: colorectal cancer screening now covers CT colonography and Cologuard Plus/Shield (removes barium enema); new HIV prevention drug lenacapavir (Yeztugo) added; updated ICD-10 and HCPCS codes for colorectal, mammography, pelvic exam, and AAA screening services. Billing teams must update systems to reflect deleted and added codes to avoid claim denials.
