Billing of Temporary 'C' HCPCS Codes by Non-Outpatient Prospective Payment System (Non-OPPS) Providers
This Change Request (CR) allows the billing of temporary 'C' HCPCS codes or an appropriate CPT code by non-OPPS providers on Types of Bill (TOBs) 12X, 13X, or 85X. Section 20.7 is being added to Chapter 4 of Pub. 100-04, the Medicare Claims Processing Manual to document this change. Please note that a revision to Section 250.1 in Chapter 4 of Pub. 100-04 is included with this CR. The information on low osmolar contrast material (LOCM) has been deleted. It was replaced with Section 250.8.1 in Chapter 4 (in CR 4234), which was released on January 3, 2006. There are no policy changes attached to the change in this manual section.
