DME MAC Joint Publication
Posted on July 5, 2018
Recent reports have identified that suppliers are billing Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code K0108 (WHEELCHAIR COMPONENT OR ACCESSORY, NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED) for a battery charger. This miscellaneous code is not the correct code to use for billing. The correct code to bill is one of the following:
E2366 POWER WHEELCHAIR ACCESSORY, BATTERY CHARGER, SINGLE MODE, FOR USE WITH ONLY ONE BATTERY TYPE, SEALED OR NON-SEALED, EACH
or
E2367 POWER WHEELCHAIR ACCESSORY, BATTERY CHARGER, DUAL MODE, FOR USE WITH ONLY ONE BATTERY TYPE, SEALED OR NON-SEALED, EACH
Refer to the Wheelchair Options and Accessories LCD and related Policy Article for additional information.
