Summary
BCBSRI reminds providers that Vitamin D testing (CPT codes 82306 and 82652) requires specific diagnosis codes from their medical policy for coverage. Billing team should verify they are using approved diagnosis codes when submitting these vitamin D test claims.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must review BCBSRI's Vitamin D Testing Medical Policy to ensure CPT codes 82306 and 82652 are only billed with approved diagnosis codes listed in the policy. Update billing system edits and staff training to prevent claim denials for non-covered diagnosis combinations.
