The purpose of the Public Meetings is to provide a forum for the general public to present information regarding specific Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System (HCPCS) coding requests for new products, supplies, and services.  The meeting also provides an opportunity to obtain industry and public reaction to the preliminary coding recommendations of the CMS HCPCS Workgroup, as well as CMS' preliminary recommendations regarding payment methodology.  Coding decisions related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs internal operating procedures are reviewed internally, and are not included in this forum.  See Public Meeting Summaries below.
