Exercise Equipment - Correct Coding
Exercise equipment is not considered to be Durable Medical Equipment. According to CMS Internet Only Manual 100-2, Ch. 15, Section 110.1,
quot;[p]hysical fitness equipment (such as an exercycle), first-aid or precautionary-type equipment (such as preset portable oxygen units), self-help devices (such as safety grab bars), and training equipment (such as Braille training texts) are considered nonmedical in nature." (http://www.cms.gov/manuals/Downloads/bp102c15.pdf)
The correct HCPCS Code for exercise items is A9300, Exercise Equipment. Other codes should not be used.
Refer to the Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding (PDAC) contractor for information about the correct coding of a specific product.
A product list is maintained in the DMECS database and may be accessed from the PDAC web site (https://www.dmepdac.com/dmecsapp/). The list is updated periodically. Products not listed under A9300 may still be considered exercise equipment, so this is only a partial listing.
