Wastage is a big issue for CMS and its contractors. Technically most of the LCD and PA stipulate that providers should attempt to use a CTP that comes as close as possible to the recipient site. Blatant disregard to this will likely get you into some trouble. In any case, one should be very specific in choosing any specific CTP and document the rationale the specific CTP and size was chosen.
The sales representative from a specific company is telling me that I can only buy one size of a specific graft because that is the only available size. They tell me I can bill whatever is not used as wastage. Is this correct?
