Vermont Medicaid Genetic Testing Prior Authorization

Vermont Medicaid requires prior authorization for some genetic testing codes, and the ordering clinician requests it on this DVHA form. It asks for the CPT and ICD-10 codes, the suspected diagnosis, and documentation showing how the results will directly change the member's medical management. DVHA's clinical unit reviews it, and missing documentation delays the review.

Who completes it

The ordering clinician or a genetic counselor completes the form, including the requesting provider and the supplying provider, each with Medicaid provider number, NPI and taxonomy, plus the codes and medical information.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Fax the form with the required clinical documentation to the DVHA Clinical Unit, or send it by secure email.
Who pays
DVHA does not accept proprietary laboratory analyses (PLA) codes, so submit the corresponding CPT or HCPCS code on the request instead.

Good to know

  • Check the Vermont Medicaid Fee Schedule first to see whether the genetic testing code requires prior authorization.
  • Generic letters endorsing the test that are not specific to the member do not support medical necessity and may lead to an administrative denial.
  • First-tier or gold standard testing is expected first when relevant; include its results with the request.
  • Under EPSDT, Vermont Medicaid covers medically necessary services for members under 21 even when a code is otherwise non-covered.
