The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) assigned Palmetto GBA the task of developing local coverage determinations (LCDs) for processing and reviewing Medicare claims for Jurisdictions J and M. These LCDs can be found on the JJ Proposed LCDs Status Report or the JM Proposed LCDs Status Report  located on the Medicare Coverage Database. The entire LCD and related article(s) should be completely reviewed prior to the preparation of comments.  

Palmetto GBA is soliciting comments on these proposed LCDs from physicians, manufacturers, suppliers and other professionals involved in the ordering and/or provisioning of these items. Other stakeholder comments are also welcomed. For medical professionals, we ask that you distribute these proposed LCDs to selected members of your organization for review and comment. If you disagree with any aspect of an LCD, you should be very specific in your comment and, if possible, offer an alternative. You should provide a clinical rationale for your position, including references from published clinical literature (e.g., peer-reviewed journals, clinical society guidelines, etc.). Submission of full-text literature supporting your position is strongly encouraged. We ask for a written response, regardless of your agreement or disagreement. 

Please submit your comments and signed consent form electronically to Palmetto GBA at A.Policy@palmettogba.com, B.Policy@palmettogba.com or MolDX.Policy@palmettogba.com no later than November 7, 2020.

An open meeting will be held via teleconference only (due to COVID-19). This meeting will be recorded and will be published on the Palmetto GBA website.

Avoid making multiple calls to our Provider Call Center by enrolling in one of these virtual sessions.

Five 30-minute sessions will be held each Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. ET. Please register for only one session. Provider enrollment questions will not be addressed, since Palmetto GBA hosts a separate open house event focusing on provider enrollment.
