The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has recently announced two new K codes for TLSO devices, which will go into effect on July 1.
According to the staff from the Statistical Analysis DMERC (SADMERC), they did not have any specific devices in mind when these codes were developed, but rather created them to fill some holes in the list of new TLSO codes released on January 1.
Watch for AOPA's April 29 AOPA In Advance newsletter and www.aopanet.org for the specific code wording.
