What 90959 covers

Code 90959 represents monthly management of end-stage renal disease for a patient age 12 through 19, with one face-to-face visit during the month. A nephrologist or other qualified clinician typically evaluates the patient in connection with ongoing dialysis care, reviews the clinical course and relevant results, and manages issues such as fluid status, dialysis adequacy, anemia, mineral and bone disorders, and vascular access. The service may be furnished in a dialysis facility or another appropriate clinical setting.

Select this code using the patient’s age category and the number of face-to-face visits provided during the month. The record should support the monthly ESRD management, the date and substance of the face-to-face evaluation, and the patient’s age. Report the monthly service once for the applicable month rather than treating each dialysis treatment as a separate monthly service. Distinguish this facility-based monthly series from the separate monthly codes for patients receiving home dialysis.
