Per the Medicare policy for Urologic Supplies, a catheter/tube anchoring device (A5200) is covered and separately payable when it is used to anchor a covered suprapubic tube or nephrostomy tube. If code A5200 is used to anchor an indwelling urethral catheter, payment will be based on the allowance for the least costly medically appropriate alternative, A4333. |

| Per the Medicare policy for Enteral Nutrition, payment for a catheter/tube anchoring device is considered included in the allowance for enteral feeding supply kits (B4034-B4036). Code A5200 should not be billed separately and is not paid in addition to the supplies for enteral nutrition. |
