Nerd note.
Briefly, around 2016, some MOLDX policies had "coverage with data development," equivalent to "coverage with evidence development" except for the middle letter of the acronym (CED, CDD). CMS later said that LCD's can't include CED (or, in this case, CnD or CxD). The CDD paragraphs are preserved in an old MolDx LCD that is still active, L36886 (Veracyte Percepta bronchial lesion classifier). Here. CDD text preserved like a fly in amber.
