| E7-15250 | Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New System of Records | Notice | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system titled, "Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II, System No. 09-70- 0576." In October 2003, the Secretary of HHS delegated authority under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) to CMS to maintain and distribute HCPCS Level II Codes. Level II of the HCPCS is a standardized coding system that is used primarily to identify products and services not included in the HCPCS Level I Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, such as: Injectable drugs administered in a physician office; durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) when used outside a physician's office; and ambulance services. HCPCS Level II codes were established to identify these products on insurance claims. There are about 4000 HCPCS Level II codes available for assignment by insurers in accordance with their policies. The primary purpose of this system is to facilitate the management and maintenance of the HCPCS Level II code set. Information in this system will also be used to: (1) Support regulatory and policy functions performed within the Agency or by a contractor, consultant, or grantee; (2) assist another Federal or state agency; (3) support litigation involving the Agency related to this system; and (4) combat fraud, waste, and abuse in certain health benefits programs. We have provided background information about the proposed system in the Supplementary Information section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that the "routine use" portion of the system be published for comment, CMS invites comments on all portions of this notice. See Effective Dates section for comment period. | 2007-08-07 | 2007 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/08/07/E7-15250/privacy-act-of-1974-report-of-a-new-system-of-records | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-08-07/pdf/E7-15250.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system titled, "Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II, System No. 09-70- 0576."
