I need help with determining the truth of a statement regarding ESA medical necessity in the outpatient hospital area vs physician office. A practice manager told me that the Hgb and Hct levels that support medical necessity are different in the office vs OPPS setting. Does anyone have information to support this? I have read transmittal L25211 and don't see any distinction. This transmittal was effective 1/1/2009. Please give a reference document if available.
Thanks for your assistance.
