The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most private health care plans (large and small group, and individual plans including Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) Marketplace plans) to cover preventive services supported by HRSA put forth by the Women’s Preventive Services Guidelines, without charging a copayment or coinsurance, for those who use in-network providers.
The Women’s Preventive Services Initiative (WPSI) Coding Guide acts as guidance to assist practices with coding and billing preventive services for women and was developed in consultation with staff of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). This guide provides all the information healthcare providers need to properly code for WPSI Recommendations, including ICD-10 codes, coding scenarios, Medicare, and Medicaid resources.
CPT coding guidelines state that the code selected must be the most accurate description of the service provided and be consistent with coding conventions and guidelines. Failure to submit accurate codes may result in improper billing, payer audits, and denied reimbursement.
