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

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.
