The Medicare Pricing, Data Analysis, and Coding contractor (PDAC) has rescinded the requirements for product labeling as outlined in the article titled “Product Labeling and Product Sample Requirements for Coding Verification” that was posted to the PDAC website on September 22, 2011, and the revision article posted on December 19, 2011. All articles and related references have been removed from the PDAC website.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) said it will continue to look into this matter, and that it is possible that there may be a follow-up publication/guidance at a future date, according to Thomas Fise, JD, executive director of the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (AOPA).
Questions should be directed to the PDAC contact center at 877.735.1326.
