Coverage indications
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) received a reconsideration request to remove the coverage exclusion of Continuous Diffusion of Oxygen Therapy (CDO) from NCD Manual 20.29, Section C. This section of the NCD (Topical Application of Oxygen) considers treatment known as CDO as the application of topical oxygen and nationally non-covers this treatment. After examining the evidence, CMS has decided that no National Coverage Determination is appropriate at this time concerning the use of topical oxygen for the treatment of chronic wounds. We will amend NCD 20.29 by removing Section C, Topical Application of Oxygen and Medicare coverage of topical oxygen for the treatment of chronic wounds will be determined by the local contractors. See Appendix B for the manual language.
