Coverage indications
CMS has been asked to reconsider our current requirements of an annual volume of 10 intestinal transplants per year with a 1-year actuarial survival of 65 percent as a condition of approval as an intestinal transplant facility. CMS previously determined that organ transplants are reasonable and necessary when performed on carefully selected patients in facilities that meet certain criteria. CMS has reviewed the evidence and concludes that the evidence supports the continued usage of the current requirements for facilities performing intestinal or multivisceral transplants. Thus, we will make no change to current policy on intestinal/multivisceral transplant facility requirements. Additionally, we will delete the following reference to a defunct website from our manual: More specific criteria can be found at http://cms.hhs.gov/providers/transplant/default.asp.
