Summary
This is a minor code reference update to the Continuous Arteriovenous Hemofiltration policy, removing ICD-9 diagnosis codes from the code reference section. The core policy statement remains unchanged - continuous renal replacement therapy is still considered medically necessary for acute renal failure treatment.
Action Required
By January 14, 2026: Billing team should verify that billing software uses ICD-10 diagnosis codes only for continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration claims. Ensure no outdated ICD-9 codes remain in system templates or documentation. No immediate action required as this is a routine code reference cleanup.
