SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose: The ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance (C&M) Committee is 
a public forum for the presentation of proposed modifications to the 
International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical 
Modification (CM) and ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS).
    Matters to be Considered: The tentative agenda will include 
discussions on the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS topics listed below. Agenda 
items are subject to change as priorities dictate. Please refer to the 
posted agenda for updates one month prior to the meeting.
    ICD-10-PCS Topics:

1. Administration of Iodine (131I) Apamistamab **
2. Irreversible Electroporation for Cardiac Ablation **
3. Computer-aided Anesthesia and Oxygen Delivery System ***
4. Sub-epidermal Moisture Sensor **
5. Insertion of Palladium-103 Radioactive Implant *
6. Implantation of Bone Void Filler ***
7. Section X Updates
8. Addenda and Key Updates *

    * Request is for an April 1, 2024, implementation date.
    ** Request is for an April 1, 2024, implementation date, and the 
requestor intends to submit a new technology add-on payment (NTAP) 
application for FY 2025 consideration.
    *** Requestor intends to submit an NTAP application for FY 2025 
consideration.

    Presentations for procedure code requests are conducted by both the 
requestor and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) during 
the C&M 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 has modified the approach for presenting the new NTAP-related 
ICD-10-PCS procedure code requests that involve the administration of a 
therapeutic agent. For the September 12-13, 2023, ICD-10 C&M 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 display 
only 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 August 2023 at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/C-and-M-Meeting-Materials.
    The NTAP-related ICD-10-PCS procedure code request that involves 
the administration of a therapeutic agent is:

Administration of Iodine (131I) Apamistamab **

    ** Request is for an April 1, 2024, implementation date, and the 
requestor intends to submit an NTAP application for FY 2025 
consideration.
    This topic will not be presented during the September 12-13, 2023, 
meeting. CMS will solicit public comments regarding any clinical 
questions or coding options included for this procedure code topic in 
advance of the meeting continuing through the end of the respective 
public comment periods. Members of the public should send any questions 
or comments to the CMS mailbox at: [email protected].
    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 September 12, 2023, 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 September 12-13, 2023, ICD-10 C&M Committee meeting that are 
under consideration for
