    * Request is for an April 1, 2025, implementation date.
    ** Request is for an April 1, 2025, implementation date, and the 
requestor intends to submit a new technology add-on payment (NTAP) 
application for FY 2026 consideration.
    *** Requestor intends to submit an NTAP application for FY 2026 
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 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.
    CMS will make all meeting materials and related documents available 
at: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/coding-billing/icd-10-codes/icd-10-coordination-maintenance-committee-materials. Any inquiries related to 
the procedure code topics scheduled for the September 10-11, 2024, ICD-
10 C&M Committee meeting that are under consideration for April 1, 
2025, or October 1, 2025, implementation should be sent to the CMS
