CMS Categorical Waiver For CMT
September 25th, 2020On September 25, 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a Categorical Waiver for Corrugated Medical Tubing (CMT).

The 2018 NFPA 99 added new provisions that allow for the use of MediTrac®.
CMS has reviewed the provisions in the 2018 NFPA 99 and has determined that a Categorical Waiver can be obtained for facilities that wish to use CMT. Please review the CMS waiver (QSO-20-40-LSC) for an explanation of this change and the process for obtaining a Categorical Waiver for the use of CMT. This waiver is posted on the CMS website at https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-40-lsc.pdf
