LCDs and articles that have been retired one year or more are housed on the MCD Archive.

Not all codes have a policy associated with them. Novitas will consider reasonable and necessary services for payment in the absence of an LCD, billing and coding article, NCD, or CMS manual instruction that limits coverage.

A national Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) workgroup collaborated to develop or revise the LCD titles marked with an *.
