Information for Dates of Service Before October 1, 2015

Procedure Codes

Providers who submit claims for Family Planning Only Services using the UB-04 Claim Form and the 837I transactions are required to indicate a valid HCPCS procedure code for each revenue code on the claim. The HCPCS code should be entered in Form Locator 44 of the UB-04 Claim Form. This policy should be used in conjunction with service-specific claim submission policies.

ForwardHealth requires HCPCS procedure codes on claims to assist in monitoring reimbursement for covered services.

Procedure Codes Covered Under Family Planning Only Services for Women

The following two tables contain the procedure codes covered under Family Planning Only Services for women. In addition to indicating an appropriate covered procedure code, providers submitting claims for members enrolled in Family Planning Only Services are required to identify the service as family planning-related by using an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code in the V25 range (contraceptive management) or modifier "FP" (Service provided as part of family planning program).

In the following tables, a "Yes" in the "Requires Primary Diagnosis Code in the V25 Range" column indicates that the V25 diagnosis code must be used in the primary position. "No" indicates that the V25 diagnosis code does not have to be in the primary position. If a V25 diagnosis code is not appropriate for the service provided, providers may instead use modifier "FP" on the detail level of the claim.

Claims for members enrolled in Family Planning Only Services that are submitted without either an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code in the V25 range or modifier "FP" on the detail level of the claim will be denied.

Procedure Codes Covered Under Family Planning Only Services for Men

The following tables contain the procedure codes covered under Family Planning Only Services for men. In addition to indicating an appropriate covered procedure code, providers submitting claims for members enrolled in Family Planning Only Services are required to identify the service as family planning-related by using an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code in the V25 range (contraceptive management) or modifier "FP" (Service provided as part of family planning program).

In the following tables, a "Yes" in the "Requires Primary Diagnosis Code in the V25 Range" column indicates that the V25 diagnosis code must be used in the primary position.

If a V25 diagnosis code is not appropriate for the service provided, providers may instead use modifier "FP" on the detail level of the claim.

Claims for members enrolled in Family Planning Only Services that are submitted without either an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code in the V25 range or modifier "FP" on the detail level of the claim will be denied.

Allowable Procedure Codes for Services Provided to Members Receiving the Tuberculosis-Related Services-Only Benefit

Members may be enrolled in more than one limited benefit category. For example, a member may be enrolled in Family Planning Only Services and the TB-Related Services-Only Benefit. In this instance, providers should use the Family Planning Only Services Online Handbook in conjunction with the TB-Related Services-Only Online Handbook. (Wisconsin's EVS will indicate that these members are eligible for both limited benefit categories.)
