New Look Coming to Local Coverage Determinations and Billing and Coding Articles

Consistent with the instruction in Change Request (CR) 10901, our Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) and Billing and Coding Articles will undergo further changes beginning on September 12, 2019.

Due to recent system changes, the entire Coding Information section will no longer appear in Proposed LCDs, Future Effective LCDs, and revised LCDs. Additionally, all new articles and revised articles will have a new look. The coding section will be rearranged with new fields for CPT/HCPCS Modifiers and Other Coding Information that may be utilized.

All LCDs and Articles will be in the new format by the end of the year.
