Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 90968 covers

A nephrologist or other qualified clinician reports 90968 for ESRD-related management of a dialysis patient age 2 through 11 when care covers less than a full month. A partial month may occur when a patient begins care after a transfer or starts dialysis, or when care ends during the month after a transplant or another change. The service reflects ongoing ESRD management, such as assessing dialysis-related status and coordinating the care plan; it is not a code for each dialysis run.

The payment unit is a day. Report the code for the days of ESRD-related care in the partial-month period, rather than selecting it by dialysis-session count. Documentation should support the patient’s age, the dates of care, why the period is less than a full month, and the ESRD management provided. For a complete month, choose the applicable monthly ESRD service code based on the care setting and monthly visit category.
