Summary
BCBS policy A.7.01.166 classifies allograft injection for degenerative disc disease as investigational and not covered. Four new CPT-4 codes (0627T, 0628T, 0629T, 0630T) are specifically listed as investigational for these procedures.
Action Required
Immediately: Update billing system to flag CPT codes 0627T, 0628T, 0629T, and 0630T as investigational/non-covered for BCBS plans. Alert providers that allograft injections for degenerative disc disease will be denied. Consider obtaining advance beneficiary notices (ABNs) if patients want to proceed with these procedures.
