Non-Covered Items

Noncovered Items

The following HCPCS codes will be denied as noncovered when they are submitted to the DME MAC.

These items either do not meet the requirements for a benefit category processed by the DME MAC

(technical denial) or are statutorily excluded for reasons other than lack of medical necessity. These

items may be covered under other provisions of the law (e.g., as part of institutional care in a hospital

or nursing facility, as an item incident to a physician’s service, etc.). However, in these circumstances,

the claim would not be submitted to the DME MAC and/or would be submitted using a different code.
