WASHINGTON – CMS has issued preliminary recommendations for coding and pricing for power seat elevation systems, NCART has reported.
The recommendations include discontinuing the existing HCPCS Level II code E2300, “wheelchair accessory, power seat elevation system, any type,” and establishing two new HCPCS Level II codes at a set fee schedule amount:
EXXXX, “complex rehabilitative power wheelchair accessory, power seat elevation system, any type”
EXXXX, “power wheelchair accessory, power seat elevation system, any type”
CMS has also recommended discontinuing HCPCS codes K0830 and K0831.
NCART says its Coding Workgroup has reconvened following the announcement and is preparing testimony for a hearing on Nov. 30. The organization also encourages manufacturers, providers, clinicians and other stakeholders to submit comments.
CMS is expected to release final coding, benefit category and pricing decisions on its website in February for an effective date of April 1.
