Posting of Potential NCD Topics
In the guidance document, "Factors CMS Considers in Opening a National Coverage Determination", we committed to posting potential NCD topics to the coverage web site. The guidance document encouraged the public to comment on potential topics and provide relevant evidence on whether a review should or should not proceed prior to the formal decision to open an NCD. http://www.cms.hhs.gov/mcd/ncpc_view_document.asp?id=19
