About This Webinar

Navigating through Medicare qualifications for closed-system intermittent catheters*

The Medicare Urological Local Coverage Determination (LCD 33803) outlines coverage criteria for intermittent catheters. The qualification requirements for closed-system catheters are more complex compared to straight and coudé intermittent catheters. This webinar will bring awareness to all five qualification requirements for closed-system intermittent catheters (A4353). Furthermore, we will emphasize the importance of medical documentation and discuss proven appeal and audit strategies.
