Summary
BCBS Mississippi updated their Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) policy, maintaining that EECP is considered investigational for all indications including chronic stable angina, heart failure, erectile dysfunction, and ischemic stroke. The policy change primarily involved updating the policy number from A.2.02.06 to L.2.02.411.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should verify that EECP procedures using CPT 92971 and HCPCS G0166 are flagged as investigational/non-covered in billing system for BCBS Mississippi members. Ensure claims are not submitted for these codes as they will be denied. Update internal documentation to reference new policy number L.2.02.411.
