in the Federal Register on August 17, 2000 adopted the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification ICD9CM
Volumes 1 and 2 for diagnosis codes and ICD9CM Volume 3 for inpatient hospital services procedures as standard code sets for use by covered entities health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction for which the Secretary has adopted a standard.
The ICD10PCS code set has been maintained, enhanced and expanded as a direct result of recommendations for updates e.g., adding new codes, deleting codes, and editing descriptive material related to existing codes received from interested stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.
Thus, information collected in the application is significant to code set maintenance. The ICD10PCS code set maintenance is an ongoing process, as changes are implemented and updated;
therefore, the process requires continual collection of information from applicants on a bi-annual basis. As new technology evolves and new complex medical procedures are developed, requests are submitted to CMS
requesting modifications to the ICD10
PCS code set. Requests have been received prior to HIPAA
implementation and must continue to be collected to facilitate quality decision-making.
The Committee provides two meetings each year as a public forum to discuss proposed changes to ICD10.
Suggestions to CMS for ICD10PCS
procedure code modifications come from both the public and private sectors.
ICD10PCS modification requests can be proposals for new or revised procedure codes or requests for technical coding updates including but not limited to, enhancements to existing procedure code concepts, such as adding a new body part value or a new approach value. Requestors are asked to include a description of the procedure code or change being requested, and rationale for why the procedure code or change is needed. Supporting references and literature may also be submitted.
Interested parties submit these ICD10
PCS modification requests three months prior to a scheduled Spring or Fall C&M
meeting via email to the following email address: ICDProcedureCodeRequest@

2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Transitional Pass through payments related to Drugs, Biologicals, and Radiopharmaceuticals to determine eligibility under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System; Use: Section 201b of the BBRA 1999 amended section 1833t of the Act by adding new section 1833t6. This provision requires the Secretary to make additional payments to hospitals for a period of 2 to 3 years for certain drugs, radiopharmaceuticals, biological agents, medical devices and brachytherapy devices. Section 1833t6Aiv establishes the criteria for determining the application of this provision to new items. Section 1833t6Ci provides that the additional payment for drugs and biologicals be the amount by which the amount determined under section 1842o of the Act exceeds the portion of the otherwise applicable hospital outpatient department fee schedule amount that the Secretary determines to be associated with the drug or biological.
Interested parties such as hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and physicians will apply for transitional pass-through payment for drugs, biologicals, and radiopharmaceuticals used with services covered under the hospital OPPS. After we receive all requested information, we will evaluate the information to determine if the criteria for making a transitional passthrough payment are met and if an interim healthcare common procedure coding system HCPCS code for a new drug, biological, or radiopharmaceutical is necessary. We will advise the applicant of our decision, and update the hospital OPPS during its next scheduled quarterly update to reflect any newly approved drug, biological, or radiopharmaceutical. We list below the information that we will require from all applicants. Form Number: CMS10008
