Medical Policies
Coverage for services under Medicare is primarily established through the Social Security Act. Provisions of the Social Security Act are applied to specific services based on various regulations, National Coverage Determinations established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), various CMS guidelines, and Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) established by CGS.
- NCDs are developed by CMS to describe the circumstances for Medicare coverage nationwide for an item or service.
- LCDs are developed by Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), including CGS, and indicate whether a particular item or service is covered in accordance with the Social Security Act, section 1862(a)(1)(A). (See list of LCDs below.)
- NCDs and LCDs only address certain services and items; in other words, not every item or service has a corresponding NCD or LCD. In these cases, the Social Security Act, and in some cases, additional guidance published by CMS, establish the basis for coverage.
- For more information about NCDs, LCDs, and other coverage provisions, refer to the CMS Medicare Program Integrity Manual (Pub. 100-08), chapter 13.
- CAC Compliance Open and Provider Touch Point Meetings
IMPORTANT NOTE: CGS does NOT house LCDs on our website. By following the links below you will be sent directly to the CMS Medicare Coverage Database (MCD). When using the individual links provided below there may be times that you will receive the message "superseded", indicating you are not viewing the most current LCD. This is due to system processes which cause a delay in updating these links. If you get the note "superseded" on a policy, please use the main link listed below for current LCDs to the MCD provided while we complete the process of updating the individual links.
The following CGS Part A Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) are located on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Coverage Database (MCD) webpage. CMS also provides the LCD Contractor Index, where providers can browse LCDs by contractor.
