CMS has recently finalized codes that will reimburse for Principal Illness Navigation Services. (PIN)
These codes describe services focused on removing barriers to care, including care coordination, health education, patient self-advocacy skills, and health system navigation, and facilitating access to community-based social services to address unmet social determinants of health, such as food and housing insecurity and transportation needs.
CMS will pay for certified or trained auxiliary personnel under the direction of the billing practitioner. This may be a patient navigator or certified peer specialist as part of the treatment plan for a serious, high-risk disease which is expected to last at least three months. Regarding certification, the American Cancer Society has recently launched a new patient navigator training program that addresses the potentially required credentialling for reimbursement. As a result, Cancer Centers across the country will be moving forward with determining how they will socialize their current programs to ensure they are in alignment for reimbursement.
Join us as we come together to look at opportunities to ensure all cancer patients have access to navigation services.
