Packages CMS assigns to this code in its NDC–HCPCS crosswalks, with billable units per package. Only official crosswalk rows are shown.
No CMS NDC–HCPCS crosswalk rows were located. CMS notes its crosswalks are not a comprehensive list of all NDCs.
Medicare coverage is set nationally (NCDs) and by each Medicare Administrative Contractor (LCDs and Billing & Coding articles). These links open the official documents.
Verification neededCodeRx links to coverage documents instead of copying them: CMS distributes their code lists under AMA, ADA, and AHA license terms that limit reuse. Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and commercial plans set their own coverage and prior-authorization rules.
