About 90963: Home dialysis management, under age two
Monthly ESRD-related management for a child younger than 2 years receiving home dialysis, reported for the applicable month of care.
Code 90963 covers a physician’s month-level management of a child younger than 2 years who receives dialysis at home. The nephrologist or other clinician managing the renal replacement plan assesses the child’s clinical course, dialysis prescription, fluid balance, blood pressure, laboratory findings, medications, nutrition, growth, and dialysis access, and adjusts care as needed. This work commonly occurs through a pediatric nephrology practice, with coordination among caregivers, home dialysis nurses, and the dialysis program.
Select this code based on the home-dialysis setting, the patient’s age, and the billing period. It represents monthly ESRD-related management, rather than a dialysis treatment session. Dated documentation should support the clinician’s assessment and management during the month. When ESRD-related services are furnished for less than a full month, the age-specific per-day code 90967 is the related reporting option. CMS PFS pricing assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs to this monthly service.
