217.130 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves exposing the body to oxygen under pressure greater than one atmosphere. Such therapy is performed in specially constructed hyperbaric chambers holding one or more patients, although, oxygen may be administered in addition to the hyperbaric treatment itself. Patients should be assessed for contraindications such as sinus disease or claustrophobia prior to therapy. In some diagnoses, hyperbarics is only an adjunct to standard surgical therapy. These indications are taken from "The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee Report" (2003) of The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (Kensington, MD).

HBOT prior authorizations will be issued by Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC) for all requests received on and after October 1, 2009. All hyperbaric oxygen therapy will require prior authorization, except in emergency cases such as for air embolism or carbon monoxide poisoning, in which post-authorization will be allowed per protocol. See section 242.000. Prior authorization will be issued for a specific number of treatments. Subsequent treatments will require a telephone review and an additional prior authorization. All prior authorizations for HBOT are completed by telephone review.

In order to request a prior authorization for HBOT, the provider must call the AFMC prior authorization number, (800) 426-2234. The caller must be able to provide demographic and clinical information to support the medical necessity of treatment. Calls for prior authorization should be placed by a staff member who can answer questions pertaining to the patient's clinical condition. Providers should gather all necessary information prior to placing a call. All information that is submitted to acquire the prior authorization must be documented in the beneficiary's medical record. The following information is required for prior authorization:

A. Name of caller requesting HBOT

B. Beneficiary's Medicaid ID number

C. Beneficiary's full name

D. Beneficiary's complete mailing address including zip code

E. Beneficiary's birth date

F. Treatment start date

G. Treatment facility's AR Medicaid provider number

H. Treating physician's AR Medicaid provider number

I. Treating physician's office phone number

J. CPT code for treatment

K. ICD-9 diagnosis code that justifies HBOT

L. Number of treatments requested (see table below)

M. Clinical indications for treatment
1. Narrative diagnosis, history of illness requiring HBOT and prior treatment including information about specific treatments and length of time

2. If treatment is for a non-healing wound, a clear description of the wound is required

Refer to Section 242.000, 244.000, 252.119 and 272.404 for additional information on prior authorizations, reimbursement, and information on billing.

NOTE: When approved, only one authorization number will be issued. The prior authorization number and the number of approved HBOT treatments must be communicated to the physician provider so that both the facility and physician may claim reimbursement for the number of approved HBOT sessions. Additionally, if more HBOT sessions are required for the same beneficiary, a new prior authorization will be required and the above process followed to acquire any subsequent prior authorizations. A new prior authorization number will be assigned for any additional sessions approved. The prior authorization information between the facility and the physician is to be reciprocal if the physician acquires the prior authorization.

244.000 Procedures that Require Prior Authorization
A. The procedures represented by the CPT and HCPCS codes in the following table require prior authorization (PA). The performing physician or dentist (or the referring physician or dentist, when lab work is ordered or injections are given by non-physician staff) is responsible for obtaining required PA and forwarding the PA control number to appropriate hospital staff for documentation and billing purposes. A claim for any hospital services that involve a PA-required procedure must contain the assigned PA control number or Medicaid will deny it.

Physicians may be reimbursed for attendance and supervision of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves exposing the body to oxygen under pressure greater than one atmosphere. Such therapy is performed in specially constructed hyperbaric chambers holding one or more patients; although oxygen may be administered in addition to the hyperbaric treatment. Patients should be assessed for contraindications such as sinus disease or claustrophobia prior to therapy. In some diagnoses, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is only an adjunct to standard surgical therapy. These indications are taken from "The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee Report" (2003) of The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (Kensington, MD).

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) prior authorizations will be issued by the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC) for all requests received on and after October 1, 2009. All hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) will require prior authorization, except in emergency cases such as for air embolism or carbon monoxide poisoning, in which case, post authorization will be allowed per protocol (See section 261.100). Prior authorization will be for a specific number of treatments. Further treatments will require reapplication for a prior authorization. In order to request a prior authorization, the provider must call AFMC at 1-800-426-2234.The provider must be able to provide demographic clinical information to support the medical necessity of the treatment. Calls for prior authorization should be placed by a staff member who can answer questions pertaining to the patient's clinical condition. Providers should gather all necessary information prior to placing a call.

The following information is required for prior authorization:

A. Name of caller requesting HBOT

B. Beneficiary's Medicaid ID number

C. Beneficiary's full name

D. Beneficiary's complete mailing address including zip code

E. Beneficiary's birth date

F. Treatment start date

G. Treatment facility's AR Medicaid provider number

H. Treating physician's AR Medicaid provider number

I. Treating physician's office phone number

M. Clinical indications for treatment
1. Narrative diagnosis, history of illness requiring HBOT and prior treatment including information about specific treatments and length of time

2. If treatment is for a non-healing wound, a clear description of the wound is required Refer to section 262.000 and section 292.860 for information on prior authorizations, reimbursement, and information on billing.

NOTE: When approved, only one authorization number will be issued. The priorauthorization number and the number of approved HBOT treatments must be shared with the facility provider so that both the physician and the facility may be reimbursed for the number of approved HBOT sessions. Additionally, if more HBOT sessions are required, a new prior authorization will need to be requested and the above process followed to acquire any subsequent prior authorizations. A new prior authorization number will be assigned for any additional sessions approved.
