What 90965 covers

This code represents a month of ESRD-related physician or qualified health care professional services for a patient ages 12 through 19 who receives dialysis at home. Care may include managing the dialysis prescription, reviewing treatment adequacy and relevant laboratory results, assessing fluid status and complications, and coordinating the patient’s renal care. The service is reported for the patient’s monthly home-dialysis management, not for each dialysis treatment or each contact during the month.

Select this code when the patient’s age and home-dialysis status match the code’s criteria and the practitioner provides the corresponding monthly ESRD-related services. Documentation should support the patient’s age, home treatment status, and clinical management during the month. Report the age-specific sibling for a different age group; when services cover only part of a month, use the applicable per-day code rather than this monthly code.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

90965 billing questions

How does this differ from 90964 or 90966?

Those codes represent monthly ESRD-related services for home dialysis patients in different age groups: 90964 for ages 2 through 11 and 90966 for age 20 or older. Use 90965 for ages 12 through 19.

Is this billed for each home dialysis treatment?

No. It represents monthly ESRD-related management, not an individual dialysis session.

What if the practitioner provides services for only part of the month?

Use the applicable age-specific per-day code, 90969, for a patient ages 12 through 19 when the service period is less than a full month.

What documentation supports reporting 90965?

Document the patient’s age, home-dialysis status, and the ESRD-related clinical management provided during the month.

When would 90957 be considered instead?

90957 is in the age 12-through-19 ESRD monthly service series based on monthly visit count, rather than the home-dialysis series. Choose the code family that matches the patient’s dialysis situation and services.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
