CMS Pub. 100-03, ch. 1, § 270.2
Noncontact Normothermic Wound Therapy (NNWT)
CIM 60-25
The NNWT is a device reported to promote wound healing by warming a wound to a
predetermined temperature. The device consists of a noncontact wound cover into which a
flexible, battery powered, infrared heating card is inserted. There is insufficient scientific or
clinical evidence to consider this device as reasonable and necessary for the treatment of wounds
within the meaning of §1862(a)(1)(A) of the Act and will not be covered by Medicare.
