PAP, RAD LCDs Revised

DME MACs A and B notified providers last week that the Positive
Airway Pressure and Respiratory Assist Devices local coverage
determinations have been revised, effective for dates of service on
or after Sept. 1, 2009. The revised information is in the
Documentation Section and outlines the use of additional modifiers
to indicate that an item is not medically necessary and whether or
not a waiver of liability statement (i.e., Advance Beneficiary
Notice) is on file. Read the Positive Airway Pressure local coverage
determination and Respiratory Assist Devices local coverage
determination revisions.
