2017 HCPCS Code Annual Update - Correct Coding - Correction

DME MAC Joint Publication

Originally Published December 1, 2016; Corrected December 6, 2016

This is a correction to the December 1, 2016 publication. HCPCS codes were inadvertently left out. J7340 has been added to External Infusion Pumps, K0015 and K0070 have been added to Wheelchair Options/Accessories.

The following tables identify changes to Level II Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes for 2017. The tables contain only the 2017 HCPCS codes that are applicable to items that fall within Medicare DME MAC jurisdiction. There may be other HCPCS code changes for items under the jurisdiction of other Medicare contractors. Consult with those contractors for information regarding HCPCS codes that fall within their areas of responsibility.

All HCPCS code changes are effective for claims with dates of service on or after January 1, 2017.

CODE CHANGE CATEGORIES

Added Codes/Added Modifiers: These are new codes and modifiers.

Discontinued Codes/Deleted Modifiers: These are codes and modifiers that are discontinued /deleted. These codes and modifiers continue to be valid for Medicare claims with dates of service on or before December 31, 2016.

If there is a direct crosswalk for a discontinued/deleted code or modifier, the crosswalk code is listed in the table. The crosswalked codes are effective for claims with dates of service on or after January 1, 2017.

There is no grace period that allows for submission of a discontinued code/modifier for claims with dates of service in 2017.

Narrative Changes/Revised Modifiers: These are changes in the narrative descriptor for an existing code or modifier.

For products not listed on the DMECS Product Classification Lists, suppliers should evaluate whether a revised narrative changes their coding choices.

For questions about correct coding, contact the Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding (PDAC) Contact Center at (877) 735-1326 during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, or e-mail the PDAC by completing the DME PDAC Contact Form located on the PDAC website: https://www.dmepdac.com/External Website
