2025 July Medical Policy Updates
BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and BlueChoice HealthPlan released their July 2025 medical policy updates, which include mostly routine annual reviews with no changes to policy intent. However, three policies have actionable coding updates: CAM 701136 adds code C1735 (effective 01/01/2025), CAM 701149 adds 12 new amniotic membrane codes (effective immediately), and CAM 20219 updates code 93656 verbiage (effective 07/01/2025). Additionally, CAM 089 updates ICD-10 code Z1331 for anxiety/depression screening. Most other policies reflect evidence and reference updates only.
