Some of our physicians are starting to order Trilogy. I cannont find and LCD for this and am being told by the "SALES REPS" that all is required is a diagnosis of ALS. My experience with Medicare tells me that this is an area that will come back to bite me if I don't get what I need now.

What kind of documentation are others doing this type of business getting up front from the physician?

Thanks,

Sharon

I tried to Google Trilogy, but couldn't find anything. Pardon my ignorance, but what is it? Thanks!

A non-invasive ventilator

Look at the LCD for PAP devices. Non Invasive Ventilators are covered under that LCD now. I'd also check PDAC for coding.

Sorry, I should have looked at PDAC before replying. It's a ventilator (not the typical RAD).
