Computer-aided Triage and Notification for Measurement of Intracranial Vessel Flow * 29. Extravascular Implantable Defibrillator Leads * Requestor has submitted a new technology add-on payment (NTAP) application for FY 2024. ** Requestor intends to submit an NTAP application for FY 2025 consideration. Presentations for procedure code requests are conducted by both the requestor and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) during the C&M Committee meeting. Discussion from the requestor generally focuses on the clinical issues for the procedure or technology, followed by the proposed coding options from a CMS analyst. Topics presented may also include requests for new procedure codes that relate to a new technology add-on payment (NTAP) policy request. CMS has modified the approach for presenting the new NTAP-related ICD– 10–PCS procedure code requests that involve the administration of a therapeutic agent. For the March 7–8, 2023, ICD–10 C&M Committee meeting, consistent with the requirements of section 1886(d)(5)(K)(iii) of the Social Security Act, applicants submitted requests to create a unique procedure code to describe the administration of a therapeutic agent, such as the option to create a new code in Section X within the ICD–10–PCS procedure code classification. CMS will initially display only those meeting materials associated with the NTAP-related ICD–10–PCS procedure code requests that involve the administration of a therapeutic agent on the CMS website in February 2023 at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ ICD10/C-and-M-Meeting-Materials. The nine NTAP-related ICD–10–PCS procedure code requests that involve the administration of a therapeutic agent are: 1. Administration of Elranatamab * 2. Administration of Epcoritamab * 3. Administration of Glofitamab * 4. Administration of Pafolacianine * 5. Administration of Posoleucel ** 6. Administration of Quizartinib * 7. Administration of Rezafungin * 8. Administration of SER–109 * 9. Administration of SulbactamDurlobactam * These topics will not be presented during the March 7–8, 2023, meeting. CMS will solicit public comments regarding any clinical questions or coding options included for these nine procedure code topics in advance of the meeting continuing through the end of the respective public comment periods. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Jan 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 Members of the public should send any questions or comments to the CMS mailbox at: ICDProcedureCodeRequest@ cms.hhs.gov. CMS intends to post a question-andanswer document in advance of the meeting to address any clinical or coding questions that members of the public may have submitted. Following the conclusion of the meeting, CMS will post an updated question-and-answer document to address any additional clinical or coding questions that members of the public may have submitted during the meeting that CMS was not able to address or that were submitted after the meeting. The NTAP-related ICD–10–PCS procedure code requests that do not involve the administration of a therapeutic agent and all non-NTAPrelated procedure code requests will continue to be presented during the virtual meeting on March 7, 2023, consistent with the standard meeting process. CMS will make all meeting materials and related documents available at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ ICD10/C-and-M-Meeting-Materials. Any inquiries related to the procedure code topics scheduled for the March 7–8, 2023, ICD–10 C&M Committee meeting that are under consideration for October 1, 2023, implementation should be sent to the CMS mailbox at: ICDProcedureCodeRequest@ cms.hhs.gov.
