Coding for preventive services

Applies to:

Group commercial HMO, EPO, POS and PPO plans

Individual MyPriority® HMO, POS and PPO plans

Medicaid preventive services are determined by plan documents from the State of Michigan.

Definition:

Routine health care that includes screenings, check-ups, and patient counseling to prevent illnesses, disease, or other health problems, when the member has no symptoms.

Preventive services billing

These codes correlate to services listed in our Preventive Health Care Guidelines, which apply to members of group HMO, POS and PPO plans and individual MyPriority^® plans. Use this chart for reference only; refer to the current CPT manual for a complete description of each code and the most updated code lists.

* = Modifier 33 may be submitted to identify the service was performed for an indication described under the Priority Health Preventive Health Care Guidelines, for commercial products only

Exceptions:

Self-funded employer groups may individualize their plan benefits, which may override the Preventive Health Care Guidelines.
Some "grandfathered" plans may have copays for preventive services, and/or a different list of preventive services.
Certain religious employers can claim exemption from the contraceptive methods, counseling and sterilizations for women.
Certain religious organizations can claim a safe harbor exemption from covering contraceptive methods and counseling.
Medicaid coverage is primarily determined by the State of Michigan. If no Medicaid-specific preventive coverage documentation exists, our preventive guidelines will apply.
