HCPCS Level II Public Meetings
CMS conducts biannual HCPCS Level II public meetings to provide a virtual forum for the public to present information about specific HCPCS Level II coding requests for new products, supplies, and services. These meetings also allow industry and the public to provide feedback on the preliminary coding recommendation and CMS’s preliminary benefit category and payment determination, if applicable.
- If you submit a HCPCS Level II code request through MEARISTM for a product that appears on the public meeting agenda, you’re welcome to attend but your attendance isn’t mandatory.
- CMS holds these meetings to give applicants and others the opportunity to present additional information, clarify issues, and offer supporting or opposing perspectives regarding CMS’s preliminary recommendations.
- The majority of applications addressed in these public meetings are coding requests for non-drug and non-biological products.
- Preliminary recommendations aren’t final or binding upon any payer and may change.
- Final decisions aren’t made at the public meeting.
- CMS announces public meeting dates in a Federal Register Notice.
