Question:
This is in regards to the status indicator for 37215. In the final rule addendum E, CMS had removed 37215 from the inpatient only list. However, in the January addendum B list on the CMS website, they have it listed as inpatient only. Have you seen this discrepancy and know which is correct? Thank you. 37215 Transcath stent, cca w/eps C http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/ama/license.asp?file=/HCPCSReleaseCodeSets/Downloads/10anweb.zip
