Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
[CMS-9016-N]
Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Quarterly Listing of Program
Issuances--October 2002 Through December 2002
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice lists CMS manual instructions, substantive and
interpretive regulations, and other Federal Register notices that were
published from October 2002 through December 2002, relating to the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. This notice also provides information
on national coverage determinations affecting specific medical and
health care services under Medicare. Additionally, this notice
identifies certain devices with investigational device exemption
numbers approved by the Food and Drug Administration that potentially
may be covered under Medicare.
Section 1871(c) of the Social Security Act requires that we publish
a list of Medicare issuances in the Federal Register at least every 3
months. Although we are not mandated to do so by statute, for the sake
of completeness of the listing, we are also including all Medicaid
issuances and Medicare and Medicaid substantive and interpretive
regulations (proposed and final) published during this timeframe.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: It is possible that an interested
party may have a specific information need and not be able to determine
from the listed information whether the issuance or regulation would
fulfill that need. Consequently, we are providing information contact
persons to answer general questions concerning these items. Copies are
not available through the contact persons. (See Section III of this
notice for how to obtain listed material.)
Questions concerning items in Addendum III may be addressed to
Karen Bowman, Office of Strategic Operations and Regulatory Affairs,
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, C5-16-03, 7500 Security
Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21244-1850, (410) 786-5252.
Questions concerning national coverage determinations should be
directed to Shana Olshan, Office of Clinical Standards and Quality,
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, C1-09-06, 7500 Security

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Program Issuances
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible
for administering the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These programs
pay for health care and related services for 39 million Medicare
beneficiaries and 35 million Medicaid recipients. Administration of
these programs involves (1) furnishing information to Medicare
beneficiaries and Medicaid recipients, health care providers, and the
public and (2) maintaining effective communications with regional
offices, State governments, State Medicaid agencies, State survey
agencies, various providers of health care, fiscal intermediaries and
carriers that process claims and pay bills, and others. To implement
the various statutes on which the programs are based, we issue
regulations under the authority granted to the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services under sections 1102, 1871,
1902, and related provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act). We
also issue various manuals, memoranda, and statements necessary to
administer the programs efficiently.
Section 1871(c)(1) of the Act requires that we publish a list of
all Medicare manual instructions, interpretive rules, statements of
policy, and guidelines of general applicability not issued as
regulations at least every 3 months in the Federal Register. We
published our first notice June 9, 1988 (53 FR 21730). Although we are
not mandated to do so by statute, for the sake of completeness of the
listing of operational and policy statements, we are continuing our
practice of including Medicare substantive and interpretive regulations
(proposed and final) published during the 3-month time frame.
II. How to Use the Addenda
This notice is organized so that a reader may review the subjects
of manual issuances, memoranda, substantive and interpretive
regulations, national coverage determinations, and Food and Drug
Administration-approved investigational device exemptions published
during the timeframe to determine whether any are of particular
interest. We expect this notice to be used in concert with previously
published notices. Those unfamiliar with a description of our
[[Page 15197]]
Medicare manuals may wish to review Table I of our first three notices
(53 FR 21730, 53 FR 36891, and 53 FR 50577) published in 1988, and the
notice published March 31, 1993 (58 FR 16837). Those desiring
information on the Medicare Coverage Issues Manual may wish to review
the August 21, 1989 publication (54 FR 34555). Those interested in the
procedures used in making national coverage determinations may review
the April 27, 1999 publication (64 FR 22619). In this publication, the
1989 proposed rule affecting national coverage procedures and decisions
(54 FR 4302) was withdrawn, and the procedures for national coverage
determinations established.
To aid the reader, we have organized and divided this current
listing into six addenda:
[sbull] Addendum I lists the publication dates of the most recent
quarterly listings of program issuances.
[sbull] Addendum II identifies previous Federal Register documents
that contain a description of all previously published CMS Medicare and
Medicaid manuals and memoranda.
[sbull] Addendum III lists a unique CMS transmittal number for each
instruction in our manuals or Program Memoranda and its subject matter.
A transmittal may consist of a single instruction or many. Often, it is
necessary to use information in a transmittal in conjunction with
information currently in the manuals.
[sbull] Addendum IV lists all substantive and interpretive Medicare
and Medicaid regulations and general notices published in the Federal
Register during the quarters covered by this notice. For each item we
list the--
[sbull] Date published;
[sbull] Federal Register citation;
[sbull] Parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that have
changed (if applicable);
[sbull] Agency file code number; and
[sbull] Title of the regulation.
[sbull] Addendum V includes completed national coverage
determinations from the quarter covered by this notice. Completed
decisions are identified by title, a brief description, effective date,
and section in the appropriate Federal publication.
[sbull] Addendum VI includes listings of the Food and Drug
Administration-approved investigational device exemption
categorizations, using the investigational device exemption numbers the
Food and Drug Administration assigns. The listings are organized
according to the categories to which the device numbers are assigned
(that is, Category A or Category B), and identified by the
investigational device exemption number.
III. How To Obtain Listed Material
A. Manuals
Those wishing to subscribe to program manuals should contact either
the Government Printing Office (GPO) or the National Technical
Information Service (NTIS) at the following addresses:
Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, ATTN: New
Orders, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954, Telephone (202)

In addition, individual manual transmittals and Program Memoranda
listed in this notice can be purchased from NTIS. Interested parties
should identify the transmittal(s) they want. GPO or NTIS can give
complete details on how to obtain the publications they sell.
Additionally, most manuals are available at the following Internet
address: http://cms.hhs.gov/manuals/default.asp.
B. Regulations and Notices
Regulations and notices are published in the daily Federal
Register. Interested individuals may purchase individual copies or
subscribe to the Federal Register by contacting the GPO at the address
given above. When ordering individual copies, it is necessary to cite
either the date of publication or the volume number and page number.
The Federal Register is also available on 24x microfiche and as an
online database through GPO Access. The online database is updated by 6
a.m. each day the Federal Register is published. The database includes
both text and graphics from Volume 59, Number 1 (January 2, 1994)
forward. Free public access is available on a Wide Area Information
Server (WAIS) through the Internet and via asynchronous dial-in.
Internet users can access the database by using the World Wide Web; the
Superintendent of Documents home page address is http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/index.html
, by using local WAIS client
software, or by telnet to swais.access.gpo.gov, then log in as guest
(no password required). Dial-in users should use communications
software and modem to call (202) 512-1661; type swais, then log in as
guest (no password required).
C. Rulings
We publish rulings on an infrequent basis. Interested individuals
can obtain copies from the nearest CMS Regional Office or review them
at the nearest regional depository library. We have, on occasion,
published rulings in the Federal Register. Rulings, beginning with
those released in 1995, are available online, through the CMS Home
Page. The Internet address is http://cms.hhs.gov/rulings.
D. CMS's Compact Disk-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM)
Our laws, regulations, and manuals are also available on CD-ROM and
may be purchased from GPO or NTIS on a subscription or single copy
basis. The Superintendent of Documents list ID is HCLRM, and the stock
number is 717-139-00000-3. The following material is on the CD-ROM
disk:
[sbull] Titles XI, XVIII, and XIX of the Act.
[sbull] CMS-related regulations.
[sbull] CMS manuals and monthly revisions.
[sbull] CMS program memoranda.
The titles of the Compilation of the Social Security Laws are
current as of January 1, 1999. (Updated titles of the Social Security
Laws are available on the Internet at http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/comp-toc.htm.
) The remaining portions of CD-ROM are updated on a
monthly basis.
Because of complaints about the unreadability of the Appendices
(Interpretive Guidelines) in the State Operations Manual (SOM), as of
March 1995, we deleted these appendices from CD-ROM. We intend to re-
visit this issue in the near future and, with the aid of newer
technology, we may again be able to include the appendices on CD-ROM.
Any cost report forms incorporated in the manuals are included on
the CD-ROM disk as LOTUS files. LOTUS software is needed to view the
reports once the files have been copied to a personal computer disk.
IV. How To Review Listed Material
Transmittals or Program Memoranda can be reviewed at a local
Federal Depository Library (FDL). Under the FDL program, government
publications are sent to approximately 1,400 designated libraries
throughout the United States. Some FDLs may have arrangements to
transfer material to a local library not designated as an FDL. Contact
any library to locate the nearest FDL.
In addition, individuals may contact regional depository libraries
that receive and retain at least one copy of most
[[Page 15198]]
Federal Government publications, either in printed or microfilm form,
for use by the general public. These libraries provide reference
services and interlibrary loans; however, they are not sales outlets.
Individuals may obtain information about the location of the nearest
regional depository library from any library.
Superintendent of Documents numbers for each CMS publication are
shown in Addendum III, along with the CMS publication and transmittal
numbers. To help FDLs locate the materials, use the Superintendent of
Documents number, plus the transmittal number. For example, to find the
Part 3--Claims Process, (CMS Pub. 13-3) transmittal entitled ``Hearing
Aide Exclusion,'' use the Superintendent of Documents No. HE 22.8/6 and
the transmittal number 1868.

Addendum V--National Coverage Determinations [October 2002 through
December 2002]
A national coverage determination (NCD) is a determination by
the Secretary with respect to whether or not a particular item or
service is covered nationally under Title XVIII of the Social
Security Act, but does not include a determination of what code, if
any, is assigned to a particular item or service covered under this
title or determination with respect to the amount of payment made
for a particular item or service so covered. We include below all of
the NCDs that became effective during the quarter covered by this
notice. The entries below include information concerning completed
decisions as well as sections on program and decision memoranda,
which also announce impending decisions or, in some cases, explain
why it was not appropriate to issue an NCD. We identify completed
decisions by title, effective date, and section of the publication
where the decision can be found. Also, please note that in some
cases more than one NCD was made affecting a single procedure.
Information on completed decisions as well as pending decisions has
also been posted on the CMS Web site at http://cms.hhs.gov/coverage.

Addendum VI--Categorization of Food and Drug Administration-Allowed
Investigational Device Exemptions
Under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c), devices
fall into one of three classes. Also, under the new categorization
process to assist CMS, the Food and Drug Administration assigns each
device with a Food and Drug Administration-approved investigational
device exemption to one of two categories. Category A refers to
experimental/investigational device exemptions, and Category B
refers to nonexperimental/investigational device exemptions. To
obtain more information about the classes or categories, please
refer to the Federal Register notice published on April 21, 1997 (62
FR 19328).
The following information presents the device number and
category (A or B) for the third quarter, July through September
2002. (We inadvertently failed to include this information in our
December 27, 2002, quarterly issuances notice).
