What is the usual maximum quantity of Hy-Tape® allowed by Medicare Part B?
For an ostomy supply: the usual maximum quantity allowed is 2 rolls per month. Billing for Hy-Tape® is limited to a three-month supply at any one time for an ostomy patient at home. For a secondary dressing item: the quantity of Hy-Tape® required should reasonably reflect the size of the wound cover being secured. Usual use for wound covers measuring 16 square inches or less is up to two units (36 square inches) per dressing change; for wound covers measuring 16 to 48 square inches, up to three units (54 square inches) per dressing change; and for wound covers measuring greater than 48 square inches, up to four units (72 square inches) per dressing change.
