Reimbursement policies, formerly known as clinical payment and coding policies, describe payment rules and methodologies for Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes, Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System and ICD-10 coding for claims submitted as covered services. This information is a resource for our payment policies. It’s not intended to address all reimbursement-related issues. We regularly add and modify coding and compensation policy positions as part of our ongoing policy review process.
The following policies were updated:
- RP005 (formerly known as CPCP) Home Health Care Policy, effective March 9, 2026
- CPCPLAB044 Lyme Disease Testing, effective April 1, 2026

Reimbursement policies are based on using healthcare professionals and industry standard guidelines. The reimbursement guidelines are not intended to provide billing or coding advice but to serve as a reference for facilities and providers.
