LCD Tracking

Our LCD Tracking page allows you access to current and historical Local Coverage Determination (LCD) development-related information.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigned to the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) the task of developing LCDs for processing and reviewing Medicare claims for Durable Medical Equipment, Prostheses, Orthoses, and Supplies (DMEPOS).

When the DME MACs receive a valid request to revise an existing LCD, or to develop a New LCD, we follow the LCD development process outlined in the Program Integrity Manual Chapter 13 (CMS Pub. 100-08).

The tables below provide you with up-to-date information on the LCDs under reconsideration or development. Check back frequently or sign up for the CGS electronic mailing list for the latest information.
