    * Applicant has submitted a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) 
application for FY 2022.

    Presentations for procedure code requests are conducted by both the 
requestor and CMS during the Coordination & Maintenance Committee 
meeting. Discussion from the requestor generally focuses on the 
clinical issues for the procedure or technology, followed by the 
proposed coding options from a CMS analyst. Topics presented may also 
include requests for new procedure codes that relate to a new 
technology add-on payment (NTAP) policy request.
    CMS is modifying the approach for presenting the new technology 
add-on payment (NTAP) related ICD-10-PCS procedure code requests that 
involve the administration of a therapeutic agent for the March 9-10, 
2021 ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee meeting due to the 
volume of NTAP applications and corresponding procedure code requests 
being considered for FY 2022. Consistent with the requirements of 
section 1886(d)(5)(K)(iii) of the Social Security Act, applicants 
submitted requests to create a unique procedure code to describe the 
administration of a therapeutic agent, such as the option to create a 
new code in Section X within the ICD-10-PCS procedure code 
classification. In order to accommodate the number of requests received 
for the March 9-10, 2021 ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee 
meeting, CMS will initially only display those meeting materials 
associated with the NTAP related ICD-10-PCS procedure code requests 
that involve the administration of a therapeutic agent on the CMS 
website in early February 2021 at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/C-and-M-Meeting-Materials.
    The six NTAP related ICD-10-PCS procedure code requests that 
involve the administration of a therapeutic agent are:

1. Administration of Trilaciclib
2. Administration of ZEPZELCATM (lurbinectedin)
3. Administration of ENSPRYNGTM (satralizumab-mwge)
4. Administration of Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel (cilta-cel)
5. Administration of Amivantamab
6. Transfusion of Pathogen Reduced Cryoprecipitated Fibrinogen 
Complex (PRCFC)

    These topics will not be presented during the March 9-10, 2021 
meeting. CMS will solicit public comments regarding any clinical 
questions or coding options included for these six procedure code 
topics in advance of the meeting continuing through the end of the 
public comment period, April 9, 2021. Members of the public should send 
any questions or comments to the CMS mailbox at: 
[email protected] by the April 9, 2021 deadline.
    CMS intends to post a question and answer document in advance of 
the meeting to address any clinical or coding questions that members of 
the public may have submitted. Following the conclusion of the meeting, 
CMS will post an updated question and answer document to address any 
additional clinical or coding questions that members of the public may 
have submitted during the meeting that CMS was not able to address or 
that were submitted after the meeting.
    The NTAP related ICD-10-PCS procedure code requests that do not 
involve the administration of a therapeutic agent and all non-NTAP 
related procedure code requests will continue to be presented during 
the virtual meeting on March 9, 2021 consistent with the standard 
meeting process.
    CMS will make all meeting materials and related documents available 
at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/C-and-M-Meeting-Materials. Any inquiries related to the procedure code topics scheduled 
for the March 9-10, 2021 ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee 
meeting that are under consideration for October 1, 2021 implementation 
should be sent to the CMS mailbox at: 
[email protected].
