Noridian Publishes Updated Ostomy Supplies Info
Noridian Healthcare Solutions, the Jurisdictions A and D DME MAC, has published a new ostomy supplies FAQ page that answers questions such as how many ostomy sleeves can be provided and billed per month by durable medical equipment suppliers; how long to maintain patient medical records to demonstrate medical necessity or presence of a stoma; and the documentation required to establish initial need for ostomy supplies.
According to the home health final rule published in late November, ostomy supplies will be among the product categories included when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) resumes its Medicare competitive bidding program.
