New Jersey Billing Notes
Horizon BCBS NJ typically requires documented IUI attempts before authorizing IVF. Keep detailed IUI billing records and include them with IVF prior auth requests.
New Jersey mandates unlimited IUI — bill using CPT 58321 (artificial insemination, intrauterine) or 58322. Each IUI cycle should be billed separately with supporting diagnosis codes.
The NJ mandate applies to employers with 50+ employees. Verify employer size for smaller practices and professional groups — plans below the threshold may not be required to cover IVF.
AmeriHealth NJ has strict medical necessity criteria for IVF. Submit the treating physician's complete clinical assessment including diagnosis, prior treatment documentation, and cycle plan.
