  • Clinical Policy: Fetal Surgery in Utero for Prenatally Diagnosed
    Clinical Policy: Fetal Surgery in Utero for Prenatally Diagnosed Malformations Reference Number: CP.MP.129 Effective Date: 01/18 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 09/18 Revision Log Description This policy describes the medical necessity requirements for performing fetal surgery. This becomes an option when it is predicted that the fetus will not live long enough to survive delivery or after birth. Therefore, surgical intervention during pregnancy on the fetus is meant to correct problems that would be too advanced to correct after birth. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of Pennsylvania Health and Wellness® (PHW) that in-utero fetal surgery (IUFS) is medically necessary for any of the following: A. Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) associated with fetal hydrops related to high output heart failure : SCT resecton: B. Lower urinary tract obstruction without multiple fetal abnormalities or chromosomal abnormalities: urinary decompression via vesico-amniotic shunting C. Ccongenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and extralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration with hydrops (hydrops fetalis): resection of malformed pulmonary tissue, or placement of a thoraco-amniotic shunt; D. Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS): treatment approach is dependent on Quintero stage, maternal signs and symptoms, gestational age and the availability of requisite technical expertise and include either: 1. Amnioreduction; or 2. Fetoscopic laser ablation, with or without amnioreduction when member is between 16 and 26 weeks gestation; E. Twin-reversed-arterial-perfusion (TRAP): ablation of anastomotic vessels of the acardiac twin (laser, radiofrequency ablation); F. Myelomeningocele repair when all of the following criteria are met: 1. Singleton pregnancy; 2. Upper boundary of myelomeningocele located between T1 and S1; 3.
