Very Brief Blog: The Bonanza of Palmetto MolDX LCDs for Public Comment

In October, Palmetto GBA, which originates all the MolDx LCDs, won a contract to manage three additional states (Jurisdiction J, KY AL GA).   My understanding is that Palmetto "froze" all pending draft LCDs so they could be re-released for public comment in JJ, since they will eventually apply there.

A batch of 24 LCDs (most of them being re-released in comment for the benefit of JJ stakeholders) are open for discussion at March 26 and 29 public meetings. 

Homepages for the two meetings are here.  You can click through to to LCD lists.  I've also clipped the LCD list below the break.
