Private Rooms

HMSA plans cover private rooms when medically appropriate for the member's condition. The payment from HMSA plus any applicable member copayment for a medically appropriate private room should be considered payment in full. Under HMSA plan benefits, members are not liable for additional out-of-pocket costs for a medically appropriate private room.

The charts below list ICD-10 CM diagnosis codes and ICD-10 CM procedure codes for which a private room is considered medically appropriate.
