Article Text

Refer to CMS Change Request 7888 for complete instructions regarding HCPCS codes for replacement accessories and supplies for external ventricular assist devices or any ventricular assist device (VAD) for which payment was not made under Medicare Part A.

This Article is effective for all services billed on or after 09/14/2015, regardless of date of service.

Novitas Solutions is receiving claims for various prepackaged supplies or accessories used for an implanted ventricular assist device (VAD). The supplies have been reported using Healthcare Common Procedure Codes (HCPCS) (e.g. Q0508, Q0509). The prepackaged supplies typically contain various items including but not limited to gloves, gauze, tape, anchoring device, bouffant cap, local antiseptic (betadine/dyna dex/chloraprep), and facemask. When billing for a miscellaneous supply or accessory for use with a VAD, (Q0508 or Q0509), Medicare expects the following documentation to be made available:

  • Physician’s order for supply/accessory listing frequency and duration of its use
  • Invoice for supply/accessory provided
  • List of supply/accessory provided whether individually or in a kit
  • Office/progress notes for the patient documenting the presence of a LVAD device

The documentation must be made available to Medicare upon request, and should be included at the time of the claim submission.
