HCPCS Code B9998: NOC for Enteral Supplies

Yes, but only if there is no existing HCPCS code and the item is not already included in the daily enteral feeding supply allowances (B4034–B4036, B4148). If a specific code or allowance applies, B9998 cannot be used.

Not always. Requirements vary by payer, but obtaining prior authorization in addition to clear documentation is strongly recommended to help avoid denials.

No. B9998 cannot be used for experimental or investigational devices. Supplies must be medically necessary and recognized as standard care to qualify for coverage.
