Manufacturers are increasingly bringing to market innovative products designed to be used by patients in their homes. In order to successfully launch a new product, manufacturers must understand the impact and role of HCPCS codes, Medicare coverage, and payment rules as these will heavily influence how manufacturers can market the new product.  We will also cover the Medicare program's proposal to immediately cover "Innovative Technology" and how this rule would provide immediate coverage for "breakthrough devices" upon FDA approval.
