2015 Coding & Reimbursement 2015 Coding and Reimbursement The MatriStem® line of products are unique extracellular matrix devices derived from porcine urinary bladder. These devices have been shown to be effective in the treatment of acute and recalcitrant ulcers in a variety of clinical settings. When used in the hospital, reimbursement for the products varies by payer, contract terms and site of service. To help answer common coding and reimbursement questions from physicians, coders and hospital administrators, the following information is shared for educational and strategic planning purposes only. While ACell believes this information to be correct, coding information is subject to change without notice and providers are encouraged to speak regularly with their payers. For more information about ACell and MatriStem, please speak with your local sales professional or call the ACell Reimbursement Help Line at (800) 826-2926 x7.

Actual payment rates will vary based on geographical adjustment to payments. As such, all codes provided herein are for illustrative purposes only and shall not be construed as a warranty, statement, promise or guarantee that these codes are accurate or that the product will be covered in all instances, and if covered, that reimbursement in the amounts specified will be received. Coding practice will vary by site of care, patient condition, range of services provided, local payer instructions and other factors. The decision as how to complete a reimbursement claim form, including codes and amounts to bill, is exclusively the responsibility of the provider. Coding requirements are subject to change at any time-check with your local payer regularly.
