Abstract

Home ventilation has become practical recently because of improvements in the equipment available to support respiration in the long term. It is especially effective in neuromuscular and skeletal disorders, but may also have a limited place in chronic lung diseases. Both positive- and negative-pressure ventilators may be suitable for home ventilation.

Medicare program; payment for respiratory assist devices with bi-level capability and a backup rate. Final rule.

This final rule clarifies that respiratory assist devices with bi-level capability and a backup rate must be paid as capped rental items of durable medical equipment (DME) under the Medicare program and not paid as items requiring frequent and substantial servicing (FSS), as defined in section 1834(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. Before 1999, respiratory assist devices with bi-level capability (with or without a backup rate feature) were referred to as "intermittent assist devices with continuous positive airway pressure devices'' under the Medicare program and in the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS). This final rule responds to public comments received on a proposed rule published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2003, and finalizes the policy in that proposed rule. The rule will ensure that respiratory assist devices are consistently and properly paid under Medicare as capped rental items.
