Add five more codes to the home health bundling list. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will add codes for five wound care-related nonroutine supplies to the consolidated billing list in January. CMS will add the following codes to the home health consolidated billing non-routine supply code list, it says in a recent message to providers: A2014, A2015, A2016, A2017, and A2018. CMS confirmed the A2014 code for Omeza Collagen Matrix last month, Omeza says in a release. See details at www.cms.gov/files/document/r11601cp.pdf.
