| Power Mobility Devices â€" Detailed Product Description â€" Clarification In a revision of the Power Mobility Devices Local Coverage Determination that became effective on 10/1/09, the requirements for the detailed product description were revised. The LCD states: For the wheelchair base and each option/accessory, the supplier must enter all of the following:HCPCS codeNarrative description of the HCPCS codeManufacturer name and model name/numberSupplier s chargeMedicare fee schedule allowanceThe second element, the narrative description, does not have to be the full narrative of the HCPCS code. However, it must be sufficiently detailed to describe the features of the item that distinguish it from items billed with similar codes. The requirement will be revised to state: Narrative description of the item. This change will be incorporated in a future revision of the Power Mobility Devices LCD. Because this is a liberalization of the requirement, it will have an effective date of 10/1/09. Refer to the Power Mobility Devices LCD and Policy Article for additional information on coverage, coding, and documentation. |
