Revision to National Coverage Determination (NCD) 240.2 (Home Use of Oxygen) to Align to 1834(a)(5)(E) of the Social Security Act
The initial coverage period for patients who use home oxygen under Section D of NCD 240.2 didn’t change; this resolves a technical issue from a previous NCD update. Effective September 27, 2021, it’s either:
- 90 days
- Number of days in the practitioner prescription (if shorter)
For information about the NCD change, see the instruction to your Medicare Administrative Contractor.
