Medical criteria related to patient demographics, defect characteristics, and previous treatment were analyzed. Trends in coverage for treatment of talus and patella and the extent of restrictiveness of medical policies were evaluated from 2016 to 2018. The extent of restrictiveness of a policy was defined by number of medical criteria established by payer policies. Policies with &gt;5, 3\u20105, and &lt;3 specified criteria for OCAs were considered strongly, moderately, and weakly restrictive, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 49 private payer medical policies for OCA transplantation were identified. Extracted criteria varied greatly between medical policies. Ten different defect size ranges were reported across payer policies. Criteria for patient body mass index was specified in 63% of policies. Criteria for failed arthroscopic or traditional surgical procedure were identified in 20% of the policies. More than one half of policies (51%) specified knee defect location to load\u2010bearing surfaces. Analysis of trends in positive coverage statements and restrictiveness showed an increase from 4.7% in 2016 to 39.5% for talus, 4.7% to 7.0% for patella, and a slight shift (4.7% of payers) toward weakly restrictive medical policies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates wide variability and inconsistencies in published criteria among OCA medical policies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study informs clinicians of the current state of coverage for OCA transplantation, providing insights into the variability of payer policies and potential impact.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asmr.2022.09.005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,29]],"date-time":"2022-10-29T20:24:38Z","timestamp":1667075078000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Variability in Private Payer Medical Policies for Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation Demonstrates the Absence of Standardization in Medical Criteria Between Payers"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Suzanne M.","family":"Tabbaa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of California San Francisco San Francisco California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dennis C.","family":"Crawford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics &amp; Rehabilitation Oregon Health Science University Portland Oregon U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Provencher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Steadman Clinic Vail Colorado U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jack","family":"Farr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cartilage Restoration Center of Indiana OrthoIndy Hospital &amp; Orthopedic Surgery Indiana University Medical Center Greenwood Indiana U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Willliam D.","family":"Bugbee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Scripps Clinic Medical Group La Jolla California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1947603515595072"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.22998"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546515620193"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2012.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.10.043"},{"key":"e_1_2_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Early S T\u00edrico LEP Pulido PA McCauley JC Bugbee WD.
