Summary
The policy for sensory stimulation for coma patients remains unchanged - all sensory stimulation treatments continue to be classified as investigational and are not covered. The most recent update only refreshed source citations without changing coverage status.
Action Required
Continue to deny claims for sensory stimulation procedures for coma patients using codes 90867, 90868, 0018T, and S9056 as these remain investigational and non-covered. No billing system changes needed as policy status unchanged.
