Summary
This policy confirms that Home Uterine Activity Monitoring (HUAM) and associated daily nursing contact are considered not medically necessary and not eligible for coverage. The policy was recently updated on 08/01/2025 to remove an outdated link, but the coverage determination remains unchanged.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must ensure that CPT 99500 (home prenatal monitoring visits) and HCPCS S9001 (home uterine monitor services) are flagged as not covered/not medically necessary in billing system. Verify these codes are not being billed as they will result in denials. If any claims are pending with these codes, expect denials and inform patients of non-coverage.
