Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi all-- Inquiring on behalf of a friend--does any one know if there are any Medicare guidelines for buffalo hump liposuction like the ones for facial wasting? (copied below) Thanks! Jeff From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Vergel Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 11:18 AM Pozhealth Subject: Another update on Medicare and Facial Wasting Not very clear, and not intended for patients. I will find out if the codes include both product and procedure. Dear , CMS has posted the instructions to Medicare contractors regarding how to process claims for dermal injections for facial lipodystrophy. I'm attaching a link to those instructions below. Please note that these instructions are written for the Medicare contractor, it is not language that is generally helpful to the public but it is information that could be forwarded to a physician's office. Please let me know if you have any questions. http://www.cms.gov/transmittals/downloads/R122NCD.pdf http://www.cms.gov/transmittals/downloads/R1978CP.pdf Jo Baldwin, MS Coverage and Analysis Group Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Regards, Vergel PoWeRUSA.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
