Response to Comments: Pneumatic Compression Devices - DL33829

This excerpt contains responses-to-comments methodology rather than specific coverage criteria for pneumatic compression devices: policy decisions will be based on peer-reviewed literature, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and evidence-based guidelines per CMS Program Integrity Manual Chapter 13. Anecdotal or non–peer-reviewed submissions are given less weight and DME MACs may redact or consolidate comments, so published comment counts may not reflect all submissions.

"Anecdotal, unpublished, or non–peer-reviewed comments are given less weight in policy determinations and may be less influential to coverage decisions."
