In accordance with Transmittal 1388, Fee Schedule Update for 2008 for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies, DMEPOS fee schedule files were released to contractors to pay claims with dates of service on or after January 1, 2008. The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code E0461 was inadvertently omitted from these files. Therefore, the January 2008 DMEPOS fee schedule files are being revised to add fee schedule amounts for HCPCS code E0461.
As a result of the addition, a revised January 2008 DMEPOS Fee Schedule file will be released to Palmetto GBA via CMS' mainframe telecommunications system on February 5, 2008.
Claims for this service are to be submitted to the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors, and not to Medicare Part B.
