CMS Meeting on NPWT Coding
On July 9, 2009, CMS is holding meetings to discuss preliminary determinations on public requests for HCPCS codes for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices. CMS has tentatively decided not to establish new coding for NPWT systems/components, citing a technology assessment that found that the available evidence does not support significant therapeutic distinction of a NPWT system or component of a system.
