What 90969 covers

Code 90969 represents daily management of end-stage renal disease for a patient who is 12 through 19 years old when the clinician provides care for less than a full month. Nephrologists and other clinicians managing ESRD may report it for a partial month of care, such as when a patient starts or ends care with the practice during the month. It is a daily service code, not a monthly code selected by counting face-to-face visits.

Report the code for each day of ESRD-related services during the partial month, using the patient’s age and the period of care to select the code. The record should support the dates care was furnished, the patient’s age, and the ESRD-related management provided. For a full month of care, use the applicable monthly ESRD service code instead; the monthly code selection depends on the patient’s age, treatment context, and visit count.

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.

90969 billing questions

When is 90969 appropriate instead of a monthly ESRD code?

Use 90969 when ESRD-related care for a patient ages 12 through 19 covers less than a full month. A full month of care is reported with the applicable monthly code, selected by the patient’s age, treatment context, and visit count.

How many units should be reported?

Report one unit for each day of ESRD-related services furnished during the partial month. Keep documentation supporting the service dates.

Does the number of visits determine whether 90969 applies?

No. This code is for daily services during less than a full month of care; monthly ESRD codes use face-to-face visit counts to distinguish levels.

Which code applies to a patient age 20 or older?

For a patient age 20 or older receiving ESRD-related services for less than a full month, use 90970 rather than 90969.

How does 90969 differ from 90965?

90969 reports daily ESRD-related services during a partial month for a patient ages 12 through 19. Code 90965 is for home dialysis services over a full month in that age group.

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.
