GIRS Educates Clients about Coding Changes and Reimbursement for Pneumatic Compression Devices



The original article “Correct Coding for Pneumatic Compression Devices” was published in August 2010. The Durable Medical Equipment Pricing Data Analysis and Coding (PDAC) contractor announced today that this article was revised recently. This revision provides additional information regarding the HCPCS coding requirements for PCDs and related appliances. It also emphasizes that the only products that may be billed to the DME MACs using codes E0650, E0651, E0652, and E0675 are those for which the PDAC has completed a Coding Verification Review. Please contact GIRS to obtain information on the coding changes for the PCD and related appliances. If your device has not been reviewed by the PDAC, please contact GIRS for assistance to submit a Coding Verification Review. The PDAC review is important for Medicare coverage and payment as well as for other payers like Medicaid and commercial payers who reference the PDAC review list for coverage and payment decisions.
