CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 20, § 20.3
Elimination of "Kit" Codes and Pricing of Replacement Codes
PM B-01-56
Prior to 2002, most suppliers billed for dialysis supplies using codes describing "kits" of
supplies. The use of kit codes allowed suppliers to bill for supply items without
separately identifying the supplies that are being furnished to the patient. Effective
January 1, 2002, these kit codes were deleted and suppliers are required to bill for
dialysis supplies using HCPCS codes for individual dialysis supplies.
