What 90967 covers

This code represents a day of end-stage renal disease management for a patient younger than 2 years when the clinician’s care covers less than a full month. A nephrologist or other clinician managing the child’s ESRD may report it for daily management related to dialysis, such as assessing the child’s status and directing the renal care plan. The patient’s age and the per-day service basis distinguish this code from monthly ESRD management codes.

Report one unit for each day of qualifying ESRD-related services in the partial month. Documentation should establish the patient’s age, the dates care was furnished, and the ESRD management provided on those dates. This is a per-day code, not a monthly code selected by counting face-to-face visits; use the applicable monthly code when services meet that code’s criteria for a full month of care.

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.

90967 billing questions

When should 90967 be used instead of a monthly ESRD code?

Use 90967 when ESRD-related care for a patient younger than 2 covers less than a full month and is reported by day. Monthly codes apply when the care qualifies for a full-month service.

Does the number of visits determine the units?

No. Report one unit for each day of qualifying ESRD-related services, rather than selecting units by counting visits.

What documentation supports reporting 90967?

Record the patient’s age, the dates of service, and the ESRD-related management furnished on each reported day.

Can 90967 be reported for a patient who is exactly 2 years old?

No. This code is for patients younger than 2; the daily code for patients ages 2 through 11 is 90968.

Is 90967 specific to home dialysis?

No. The code identifies daily ESRD-related services for the under-2 age group, not a home-dialysis monthly service category.

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.
