In response to maintaining the CY 2025 New Technology APC assignment, we note that HCPCS code C9789 has over 100 claims, and therefore, the New Technology APC assignment is based on the geometric mean cost for that code
The best choice depends on the specific application, and many researchers combine multiple peptides for comprehensive coverage
For CY 2023, we assigned HCPCS code C9779 to APC 5303 (Level 3 Upper GI Procedures) after receiving public comments that stated that the ESD procedure's resource requirements and geometric mean cost were more similar to the resource requirements and geometric mean costs of procedures found in APC 5303
For instance, while both are generally well-tolerated in mice, understanding the specific 5 Amino 1MQ side effects reveals it has unique considerations regarding liver methylation pathways that MOTS-C does not
