Coverage indications
CMS intends to alter the list of covered diagnoses for blood glucose by deleting the present line that reads: 730.07-730.27, Osteomyelitis of tarsal bones. In its place we intent to add the following ICD-9-CM codes and descriptions: 730.07 Acute osteomyelitis of ankle and foot 730.17 Chronic osteomyelitis of ankle and foot 730.27 Unspecified osteomyelitis of ankle and foot Pursuant to section 1869(f)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act, the term “national coverage determination” means a determination by the Secretary with respect to whether or not a particular item or service is covered nationally under this title [XVIII], but does not include a determination of what code, if any, is assigned to a particular item or service covered under this title or a determination with respect to the amount of payment made for a particular item or service so covered.” Thus, the addition of the ICD-9-CM codes to given services will not be subject to review under section 1869(f).
