(2) Incontinent supplies are not covered: (a) For nocturnal enuresis; or (b) For children under the age of three (3). (3) A provider may only submit A4335 when there is no definitive Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code that meets the product description. (4) Documentation requirements: (a) The client’s medical records shall support the medical appropriateness for the services provided or being requested by the medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (DMEPOS) provider, including, but not limited to: (A) For all categories, the medical reason and condition causing the incontinence; and (B) When a client is using urological or ostomy supplies at the same time as incontinent products specified in this rule, information that clearly corroborates the overall quantity of supplies needed to meet bladder and bowel management is medically appropriate; (C) For all clients not residing in their home subsequent PA requests for incontinence product(s), the provider shall submit a log with the PA request. This log shall be the most recent log for the client documenting the number and frequency of incontinent product changes; (D) PA requests for multiple Category I incontinence product types for the same client (i.e. doubling up) shall be accompanied by adequate explanation from the client’s ordering practitioner to explain why a single, more appropriate, incontinence product cannot be used; (E) Although PA is not required for Category II incontinence products, the DMEPOS provider shall have documentation on file from the prescribing practitioner supporting medical appropriateness; (F) When requesting PA for T4543 (Bariatric Brief/Diaper) or T4544 (Protective underwear/pull-on), submit product information showing that the item is size XXL or larger. The request shall also include client weight and measurements that support the use of the bariatric incontinence product (e.g., client weight, waist and hip size). These items are manually priced following payment methodology outlined in OAR 410-122-0186. (b) For services requiring PA, submit documentation as specified in (4)(a)(A)–(E) and (F); (c) The DMEPOS provider is required to keep supporting documentation on file and make available to the Division on request.
