Coding Files and Updates

110.4 - Coding Files and Updates (Rev. 1757, Issued: 06-19-09, Effective: 07-20-09, Implementation: 07-20-09) To correspond with the annual and quarterly coding and payment updates, CWF will be provided with files of codes that are not included in consolidated billing and can be paid through the A/B MAC (B) or DME MAC. These codes are available for informational purposes on the CMS Web site at https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for- Service-Payment/SNFPPS/ConsolidatedBilling.html. Changes in designation of codes from excluded to included (or vice versa) in consolidated billing will be considered corrections to align the codes with policy as opposed to changes in policy. Newly established Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System codes will be added to CWF edits to allow A/B MACs (B)/DME MACs to make appropriate payments.
