As National Government Services, Inc.
evolves into an integrated company that serves beneficiaries
and providers under Medicare Part A and Part B in many
states, the local policies that guide payment criteria
for Medicare services are being consolidated into uniform
Local Coverage Determinations (LCD).
To reach the goal of having one set of uniform LCDs
within the National Government Services contracts, some
LCDs from former local contractors will be retired,
and many new LCDs will be created as National Government
Services consolidated LCDs.
On June 30, 2008, the following LCDs will be retired
for New York, Connecticut, and Delaware Part A. These
will be replaced by the consolidated National Government
Services LCDs listed next to them, effective July 1,
2008.
