CMS to Clarify Policy on Reporting of Diagnostic Tests

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has rescinded Change Request (CR) 6375, Transmittal 1873 sent via RO-6657, dated December 11, 2009, and will replace it with another CR in the future, pending further policy clarification on date of service and place of service reporting for the interpretation of diagnostic tests.  The revised CR will address the full spectrum of clinical scenarios. The accompanying MLN Matters article, MM6375, is also rescinded.  Another MLN Matters article will be issued when the new CR is released. See www.cms.gov.
