What 90962 covers

This code represents monthly management of end-stage renal disease for an adult receiving dialysis outside the home-dialysis monthly service series. A nephrologist or other qualified health care professional typically evaluates the patient and manages ESRD-related concerns such as dialysis adequacy, vascular access, fluid status, anemia, medication needs, and complications. Care may involve coordination with the dialysis facility and the patient’s broader treatment team.

Report one unit for the calendar month when the patient is age 20 or older and the service meets the one-visit level. Select the monthly code using the patient’s age, dialysis setting or modality, and number of qualifying visits during the month; this code is distinct from levels for two or three visits and four or more visits. Documentation should support the visit and the monthly ESRD management provided. It represents monthly care, not a separate charge for each dialysis session.
