APMA previously shared that effective January 1, 2024, ready-to-wear, gradient compression garments will be covered for the treatment of lymphedema, including in the absence of an open ulcer. The code descriptors for A6531, A6532, and A6545 will be modified to clarify their use under the surgical dressing benefit. The modification will include adding “used as surgical dressing” to the end of their current code descriptors.
Starting January 1, 2024, the following new codes should be used to represent lymphedema compression treatment items only:
A6552 - Gradient compression stocking, below knee, 30-40 mmhg, each
A6554 - Gradient compression stocking, below knee, 40 mmhg or greater, each
A6583 - Gradient compression wrap with adjustable straps, below knee, 30-50 mmhg, each
