Action Required
URGENT - Obtain complete policy documentation: The provided policy summary is truncated and does not include specific billing codes, effective dates, prior authorization requirements, or coverage limitations. Billing team must immediately: (1) Access the full policy at https://dctm.humana.com/Mentor/Web/v.aspx?objectID=090009298a5906b4 or request complete documentation from Humana; (2) Identify which genetic testing CPT codes (likely 81000-81410 range) are covered; (3) Determine if prior authorization is required; (4) Identify which inherited conditions listed are covered (policy lists achondroplasia, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, Barth syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, celiac disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, epidermolysis bullosa, hereditary angioedema - list appears incomplete); (5) Update billing system rules and encounter forms once full policy is obtained. Do not bill based on this summary alone - claims may be denied without complete policy compliance details.
