Alert: Codes have moved out of LCDs and into Billing and Coding Articles!

In response to a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) revised chapter 13 of the Medicare Program Integrity Manual (PIM). This chapter describes the local coverage determinations (LCD) process. One significant change is the relocation of codes (ICD-10-CM, CPT/HCPCS, Bill Type, and Revenue) from LCDs and into local coverage Articles. The Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) were instructed to begin the process of relocating codes in January 2019, and the process was completed in January 2020.

During this transition period, codes may be found in either an LCD or an Article. Beginning in January 2020, codes should only be found in articles. (Exception! For DME MACs only, the CPT/HCPCS codes remain located in LCDs. All other codes (ICD-10, Bill Type, and Revenue) moved to Articles for DME MACs, and all codes moved to Articles for other MAC types. The LCD and the Billing and Coding Article are companion documents, and they should be related to each other. MCD users can see the relationship, and access the related document, by navigating to the "Related Local Coverage Documents" section in either the LCD or Article.

More information on the changes made to PIM Chapter 13 and the LCD process can be found here: https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/summary-significant-changes-medicare-program-integrity-manual-chapter-13-local-coverage
