Medicare and New LCDs: Zippo for Two Months

 Each Thursday, CMS releases new LCDs (both proposed, and finaled) on its Medicare Coverage Database.

This week again, the page for new LCDs (released and in comment) is blank.


"Blank" means no documents released into their 45 day comment period, are still active.   The last release of a new draft LCD (by any MAC on any topic) was October 10.

A few draft LCDs were finaled this week - for MRI angiography, for MRI head & neck, for shoulder arthroplasty (L34424, L34425, L39956).
