Medicare Plus BlueSM changes reimbursement for gradient compression stockings

Effective for claims with dates of service on or after March 8, 2015, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s Medicare Plus Blue plan will reimburse 35 percent above the supplier invoice cost for unspecified gradient compression stockings (HCPCS code: A6549). 

You’ll need to submit the supplier invoice along with supporting documentation when submitting the claim. Claims received without the supplier invoice will be denied for payment. 

If you have any questions, please contact your provider consultant.
