What 90953 covers
90953 identifies monthly ESRD services for a patient younger than 2 years when one visit is furnished during the month. It is part of the age- and visit-count-based monthly ESRD service series. For patients younger than 2, 90951 is the code for four or more visits and 90952 covers two to three visits; 90953 is the one-visit code. Codes 90954 through 90962 cover other age groups, while 90963 through 90966 identify monthly services for home patients.
Medicare assigns 90953 physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The code identifies a monthly service, distinguished from the per-day ESRD service label for patients younger than 2. Selection within the monthly series follows the patient's age group and the number of visits during the month.
