About 90955: Pediatric monthly ESRD care, 2-3 visits

Monthly ESRD-related management for a patient aged 2–11 when the physician or qualified health care professional provides two or three face-to-face visits.

CPT 90955 represents monthly end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-related care for a patient aged 2 through 11 when the physician or qualified health care professional conducts two or three face-to-face visits during the month. Pediatric nephrologists commonly report it while managing children receiving maintenance dialysis. Monthly care may involve reviewing the dialysis plan, volume and blood-pressure status, laboratory results, medications, vascular or peritoneal access concerns, and treatment complications. This is monthly management, not a code for an individual dialysis treatment.

Choose the code by the patient’s age and the number of qualifying face-to-face visits during the month. The record should support the visit dates and the renal management provided; count these visits, not dialysis sessions. Report the monthly service once for the applicable month, rather than assigning 90955 to each visit. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to the service; payment rates are shown separately in the fee schedule data.

90955 billing questions

How many visits support 90955?

The patient must be 2 through 11 years old and have two or three qualifying face-to-face visits during the month. The number of dialysis sessions does not determine the visit level.

Should 90955 be reported for each monthly visit?

No. It represents the monthly ESRD-related service, so report it once for the month rather than once per face-to-face visit.

When should 90954 be used instead?

For a patient aged 2 through 11, use 90954 when the monthly visit count meets the four-or-more-visit level. Use 90955 for two or three visits.

What documentation supports 90955?

Document the patient's age, the dates of the two or three face-to-face visits, and the ESRD-related assessment and management furnished at those visits.

Is 90955 for an individual dialysis-session evaluation?

No. It represents monthly ESRD-related care. Codes such as 90935 or 90945 describe evaluation associated with an individual dialysis service, rather than this monthly visit-count service.
