    ** Requestor intends to submit an NTAP application for FY 2024 
consideration.
    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 continuing to modify 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 8-9, 2022 ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee meeting. 
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. 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 2022 at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/C-and-M-Meeting-Materials.
    The 13 NTAP related ICD-10-PCS procedure code requests that involve 
the administration of a therapeutic agent are:

1. Administration of Spesolimab *
2. Administration of daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj *
3. Administration of Defencath *
4. Administration of Maribavir *
5. Administration of Teclistamab *
6. Administration of Mosunetuzumab *
7. Administration of afamitresgene autoleucel **
8. Administration of tabelecleucel **
9. Administration of Treosulfan *
10. Administration of inebilizumab-cdon *
11. Administration of Xenon-129 *
12. Administration of betibeglogene autotemcel **
13. Administration of Omidubicel **

    These topics will not be presented during the March 8-9, 2022 
meeting. CMS will solicit public comments regarding any clinical 
questions or coding options included for these 13 procedure code topics 
in advance of the meeting continuing through the end of the public 
comment period, April 8, 2022. Members of the public should send any 
questions or comments to the CMS mailbox at: ICDProcedure 
[email protected] by the April 8, 2022 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.
