(ii) Jejunostomy Tube Price
A comment received on the CY 2009 PFS proposed rule
stated that we had mistakenly entered the price for a set
of 2, rather than just 1, jejunostomy tube in each of the
following CPT codes 49441, 49446, 49451, and 49452. So
that the price of this PE supply can be properly valued as
part of the PE RVUs for each of the four services in which
it is found, we have changed the price of this supply from
$198 to $97.50 in CPT codes 49441, 49446, 49451, and 49452.
In addition, because it’s correct price is less than $150,
this item was erroneously placed on the list for re-pricing
of higher-cost supplies on Table 29 in the proposed rule;
and, as a result of this price correction, it has been
removed from the list of supply items in need of repricing.
(iii) Supply Code SH079, collagen, dermal implant
(2.5ml uou)(Contigen)
We received comments from a specialty society
representing urologists noting that the dermal collagen
implant, priced at $317, was an inappropriate supply input
for CPT 52330. The specialty society asked that we remove
this supply from this service. We agree that inclusion of
the dermal collagen implant as a supply input for CPT code
52330 is not appropriate. The PE RVUs for CPT 52330
reflect the removal of this supply item.
