Dear List:
The most recent additions to the LMRP for jurisdiction B, and most likely
the others as well, have several changes to the required conditions to merit
coverage. In my reading, the use of CROW devices and others for wound
healing are no longer covered services. Medicare spends millions on wound
treatment. Use of these modalities work in union with the medical
treatments. Is there anyone else who has read these? Am I reading them
right?
I would appreciate comments on this issue.
