Joint DME MAC/PDAC Publication

The Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) have evaluated the MyoPro® upper extremity assist device and determined that it falls within the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) benefit category. Claims for MyoPro® should be submitted using the DME miscellaneous code E1399.

Suppliers are reminded that when submitting claims for items coded E1399, the supplier must include the following information:

• Manufacturer name
• Model name or number
• Pricing information
• Explanation of medical necessity

This information must be entered in the narrative field of an electronic claim (NTE 2300 or NTE 2400 of an electronic claim) or Item 19 of a paper claim.

Claims for this item will be reimbursed under the capped-rental payment methodology as it does not meet the requirements to be classified as an inexpensive or routinely purchased item.
