Policies and Procedures

Throughout the year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) may release National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). NCDs inform Medicare beneficiaries of new services or therapies that are covered or a change in coverage under Original Medicare.

If a newly released NCD impacts services covered by Medicare, CMS will post it on their Medicare Coverage Determination Process webpage. Simply scroll down and click the link titled “NCD Dashboard” to learn more.
