C1602 is the HCPCS Level II device code (often searched as CPT C1602) for: Orthopedic/device/drug matrix/absorbable bone void filler, antimicrobial-eluting (implantable). No public Medicare dataset shows who bills C1602: this class of device code never appears as its own paid line in Medicare's public claims files.
C1602 is a transitional pass-through device (OPPS status indicator H) on device pass-through APC 2043: hospitals are paid separately for it, at amounts set from hospital cost data rather than a single national rate printed in Addendum B. Pass-through status is temporary by design; when it lapses, the code becomes packaged. In ambulatory surgical centers it is an OPPS pass-through device: paid separately, contractor-priced.
No public CMS dataset carries C1602 utilization, at any grain. It is paid separately to hospitals as a pass-through device, but those payments live in facility claims that CMS publishes only at APC grain, so the code still never appears as its own line in any public file. The Medicare-visible side is the procedure, not the device.
Per-claim C-code detail exists only in restricted CMS research files that can't be used in a commercial product. So any site offering a "C1602 top billers" list is showing you something other than real data. We'd rather show you what actually exists: the procedures below are where this device shows up in Medicare's public data, and each one has a real who-bills answer.

The device is invisible in the claims data. The procedures it's used in are not: each row below is public 2024 Medicare data.
