Medicare Coverage for IDE Study Costs
Under Section 1862(m) of the Social Security Act and 42 CFR Subpart B (sections 405.201-405.215), Medicare may pay routine costs of care for Medicare beneficiaries in FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) Category A studies, but Medicare does not cover the experimental Category A device itself. Medicare may cover Category B (non-experimental) devices and associated routine costs if they are reasonable and necessary and all other Medicare coverage requirements are met.
CMS IDE Data Collection Burden
If you are a study sponsor or similar private-sector organization, CMS is extending an annual information collection using Form CMS-10511 (OMB control number 0938-1250). The collection is yearly, lists 118 respondents with 118 total annual responses, and carries a total burden of 236 hours per year; submissions can include an FDA IDE approval letter, IDE study protocol, IRB approval letter, National Clinical Trials (NCT) number, and supporting materials.
