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.
