Tips

Topic Details
Continued Medical Need For all DMEPOS items, the initial justification for medical need is established at the time the item(s) is first ordered, therefore, beneficiary medical records demonstrating that the item is reasonable and necessary are created just prior to, or at the time of, the creation of the initial prescription. Once initial medical need is established, ongoing need for urological supplies is assumed to be met. There is no requirement for further documentation of continued medical need if the beneficiary continues to meet the Prosthetic Devices benefit.
Coverage Criteria for Intermittent Urinary Catheters A4353 - Immunosuppressed Beneficiaries Meeting Criteria 2

Immunosuppressed criteria for the A4353 (intermittent urinary catheter, with insertion supplies) are covered when a beneficiary requires catheterization and the beneficiary is immunosuppressed, for example below (not an all-inclusive list).

  • On a regimen of immunosuppressive drugs post-transplant,
  • On cancer chemotherapy,
  • Has AIDS,
  • Has a drug-induced state such as chronic oral corticosteroid use.
  • Immunosuppressed spinal cord injury patients will be considered for coverage when conducting medical reviews.

Please note that the above list indicates that it is not an all-inclusive list. For all conditions, the practitioner is required to clearly document the condition causing the immunosuppression within the beneficiary’s medical records to qualify for criteria 2. These practitioner records must meet the medical necessity based on the coverage criteria listed within the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L33803
