Summary
Independence Blue Cross updated CRPS treatment policy 08.00.57t to 08.00.57w, replacing HCPCS code J2150 (mannitol 25% in 50ml) with J2151 (mannitol 250mg) effective 10/01/2025. Billing teams must update systems to use the new code for mannitol injections in CRPS treatment while discontinuing the obsolete code.
Action Required
By 10/01/2025: Billing team must update billing software and charge capture systems to delete HCPCS code J2150 and replace it with J2151 for mannitol injections in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) treatment. Update any encounter templates, fee schedules, and billing edits that reference J2150. Verify the new J2151 code is linked to appropriate ICD-10 diagnosis codes (G56.41-43, G57.71-73, G90.50-513). Communicate the change to providers and clinical staff to ensure accurate documentation of dosage (250mg per injection). Claims submitted with the deleted J2150 code after 10/01/2025 may be rejected or require manual correction.
