Effective for dates of service on or after April 1, 2009, medical supplies must be billed with Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II codes. In addition to the HCPCS Level II codes, the Universal Product Number (UPN) will be required on claims for contracted medical supplies effective for dates of service on or after April 1, 2009.
