In brief: NCART appeals, REMSleep clears, AOPA awards
WASHINGTON – NCART has submitted a HCPCS coding application to formally appeal CMS’s decision to only increase the fee schedule for seat elevation systems by about $13 to $2,013.96. “While we appreciate CMS’s willingness to listen to our concerns and review the follow-up information we provided, they indicated it could not be considered, since it was not part of the public meeting process last year,” said Wayne Grau, executive director of NCART. “In addition, we will highlight the problems using Internet pricing, which does not reflect the additional significant costs to comply with Medicare requirements compared to that retail model.” Previously in March, CMS established a new code, E2298, for seat elevation systems and set reimbursement to about $2,000 effective April 1. On an interim basis prior to April 1, CMS was paying about $2,800, on average, for seat elevation systems.
