213.100 Bilaminate Graft or Skin Substitute Coverage Restriction 5-1-08

Arkansas Medicaid covers bilaminate graft or skin substitute, known as dermal and epidermal tissue of human origin, with or without bioengineered or processed elements, with metabolically active elements. The physician's application procedure is covered separately and must be indicated separately on the claim.

This product is designed for treatment of burn injuries and non-infected partial and full-thickness skin ulcers caused by venous insufficiency and for treatment of full-thickness neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers that extend through the dermis, but without tendon, muscle, capsule or bone exposure and which are located on the plantar, medial or lateral area of the foot (excluding the heel).

A. Indications and Documentation:

When the diagnosis is a burn injury, (ICD-9-CM code range 940.0 through 949.5, indicated on the claim form), no additional medical treatment documentation is required.

This modality/product and related procedures will be covered for other restricted diagnoses (indicated below) when all of the following conditions are met and are documented in the beneficiary's medical record:

1. Partial or full-thickness skin ulcers caused by venous insufficiency or full-thickness neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers,

2. Ulcers of greater than three (3) months duration and

3. Ulcers that have failed to respond to documented conservative measures of greater than two (2) months' duration.

4. There must be measurements of the initial ulcer size, the size of the ulcer following cessation of conservative management, and the size at the beginning of skin substitute treatment.

5. For neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers, appropriate steps to off-load pressure during treatment must be taken and documented in the patient's medical record.

6. The ulcer must be free of infection and underlying osteomyelitis; treatment of the underlying disease (e.g., peripheral vascular disease) must be provided and documented in conjunction with skin substitute treatment.

B. Diagnosis Restrictions:

Coverage of the bilaminate skin product and its application is restricted to the following ICD-9-CM codes:
