For prenatal screening (Policy 2024030): Configure system to deny hCG testing for normal uncomplicated pregnancies and salivary hormone preterm labor testing; allow only blood type, Rh status, antibody testing, CBC/hemoglobin screening, Group B strep (weeks 36-37), rubella antibody, varicella immunity testing, and fetal fibronectin (for symptomatic preterm labor in ambulatory settings). For inflammation testing (Policy 2024051): Update system to require specific ICD-10 diagnosis codes matching the 17 covered inflammatory conditions and enforce frequency limits (e.g., arthritis 1-3 months initially then 6-12 months; rheumatoid arthritis prior to treatment, every 1-3 months during active disease, annually when inactive). Implement logic to deny CRP/ESR for uncovered conditions, screening without abnormal findings, or general exams. Train billing staff and update claim submission templates. Providers must document medical necessity with appropriate diagnosis codes or claims will be denied.
