2025 HCPCS code E1699
(Deleted) Effective Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Durable Medical Equipment - Dialysis Systems and Accessories Feed
Dialysis equipment, not otherwise specified.
Medical necessity must be established by demonstrating the equipment is essential for the patient's dialysis treatment and not covered by other, more specific HCPCS codes.
In simple words: This code covers special equipment used for dialysis that doesn't have its own specific code.
This code covers dialysis equipment not otherwise specified in HCPCS. Examples include a dialysis chair, bed chair, blood pressure monitor, dialyzer solution bags, and tubing. It is used for items integral to dialysis treatment but lacking a specific HCPCS code.
Example 1: A patient requires a specialized dialysis chair with additional features not covered by other HCPCS codes. E1699 would have been used prior to its deletion., A portable dialysis system for travel is needed, which does not fit the descriptions of existing HCPCS codes. E1699 would have been applicable prior to its deletion., Unique tubing or filtering components necessary for a patient's specific dialysis setup, not described by other codes. E1699 would have been used before being replaced.
Documentation should clearly describe the equipment, its medical necessity related to the dialysis treatment, and why other existing HCPCS codes are not applicable. Supporting clinical notes and records of the patient's condition and dialysis requirements should also be included.
** This code was specifically for dialysis services and was subject to the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Prospective Payment System (PPS) and the Transitional Add-on Payment Adjustment for New and Innovative Equipment and Supplies (TPNIES). For current scenarios involving dialysis equipment, you must consult updated HCPCS codes and guidelines, specifically focusing on the replacement code E1629 and other codes describing specific dialysis equipment.
