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 NTAP-related ICD- 10-PCS procedure code requests that involve the administration of a therapeutic agent. For the September 10-11, 2024, 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 2024 at: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/coding-billing/icd-10-codes/icd-10-coordination-maintenance-committee-materials. The NTAP-related ICD-10-PCS procedure code requests that involve the administration of a therapeutic agent are: 1. Administration of emapalumab-lzsg ** 2. Administration of tarlatamab-dlle ** ** Request is for an April 1, 2025, implementation date, and the requestor intends to submit an NTAP application for FY 2026 consideration.. These topics will not be presented during the September 10-11, 2024, meeting. CMS will solicit public comments regarding any clinical questions or coding options included for these procedure code topics 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 10, 2024, consistent with the standard meeting process.
