New Condition Codes 49 and 50
CMS has requested and received new Condition Codes
from the National Uniform Billing Committee to describe claims where a provider has
received a device or product without cost. This could be because the item was under
warranty, replaced, recalled, or defective. This CR will require FISS and CWF to accept
this new code; however we do not envision any editing related to this code. It will
provide information and be used for tracking purposes.
