Alliance Comments to Draft LCD on Topical Oxygen Therapy for Wound Healing
The Alliance submitted comments to the DME MACs' preliminary determination to not cover Topical Oxygen Therapy (TOT) for would healing. The Alliance outlined why the current analysis of evidence on which the LCD was based is "incomplete" and urged the DME MACs to consider the available evidence on a per wound-type basis (i.e., for diabetic food ulcers) and make wound type-specific coverage determinations. See additional Alliance recommendations in the full-text comments, below.
