Coverage of Mifeprex
Wisconsin Medicaid reimburses for Mifeprex under the same coverage policy that it reimburses other surgical or medical abortion procedures under s. 20.927, Wis. Stats.
When submitting claims for Mifeprex, providers are required to:
- Use the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code S0190 (Mifepristone, oral, 200 mg) for the first dose of Mifeprex, along with the evaluation and management (E&M) code that reflects the service provided. Do not use HCPCS code S0199; bill components (i.e., ultrasounds, office visits) of services performed separately.
- Use the HCPCS code S0191 (Misoprostol, oral, 200 mcg), for the drug given during the second visit, along with the E&M code that reflects the service provided. Do not use HCPCS code S0199; bill components (i.e., ultrasounds, office visits) of services performed separately.
- For the third visit, use the E&M code that reflects the service provided.
- Include the appropriate International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) abortion diagnosis code with each claim submission.
- Attach to each claim a completed abortion certification statement that includes information showing the situation is one in which Wisconsin Medicaid covers the abortion. The optional Abortion Certification Statements form is located in Appendix 10 of this section for photocopying and may also be downloaded and printed from the Medicaid Web site.
