Changes to the Laboratory National Coverage Determination (NCD) Edit Software for July 2016
This transmittal announces the changes that will be included in the July 2016 quarterly release of the edit module for clinical diagnostic laboratory services. The national coverage determinations (NCDs) for clinical diagnostic laboratory services were developed by the laboratory negotiated rulemaking committee and the final rule was published on November 23, 2001. Nationally uniform software was developed and incorporated in the Medicare shared systems so that laboratory claims subject to one of the 23 NCDs (Publication 100-03, Sections 190.12-190.34) were processed uniformly throughout the nation effective April 1, 2003.
