Letter to DME Medical Directors on the December 2024 Contractor Advisory Committee on Topical Oxygen Therapy

The Alliance submitted a letter to the DMEMAC medical directors elevating procedural concerns, potential improper voting processes, and technical delays that resulted in inadequate time for meaningful discussion of new evidence at the December Carrier Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting convened to discuss requests to revise the Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment Local Coverage Determination (LCD) to include language that Topical Oxygen is reasonable and necessary for wound healing therapy for treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
