via The O&P Edge:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued
two new regulations that impact patient access to O&P care.
On December 28, 2021, CMS issued a long-delayed final rule
implementing various proposals related to benefit category
determinations (BCDs) and pricing decisions for new O&P
technologies.
On January 13, CMS published a new rule updating the Healthcare
Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes on the Required
Prior Authorization List, the Required Face-to-Face Encounter and
Written Order Prior to Delivery List (Face-to-Face List), and the Master
List of HCPCS codes potentially subject to these requirements.1 This
article summarizes these important new rules.
