The Coalition also cited specific issues with the arbitrary and non-evidence based utilization parameters for disposable Negative Pressure Wound Therapy. Finally, the Coalition expressed its concerns regarding the confusing and contradictory information contained throughout the LCD, stating that the LCD must be changed and clarified before finalization.
