Medicare's national payment rule for scalp hypothermia given with chemotherapy: the ice packs or devices may count as supplies, but Medicare recognises no separate charge for them.
United States, Medicare National Coverage Determination 110.6, version 1, which CMS describes as "a longstanding national coverage determination" whose effective date has not been posted. It notes that keeping the scalp cool during chemotherapy has been reported to reduce hair loss, by ice-filled bags or bandages or by devices filled with cold-producing chemicals. Its whole coverage statement: "While ice-filled bags or bandages or other devices used for scalp hypothermia during chemotherapy may be covered as supplies of the kind commonly furnished without a separate charge, no separate charge for them would be recognized."
Showing the technology this term belongs to: Scalp cooling (cold caps: DigniCap, Paxman).
