Have there been any updates regarding Medicare coverage of LDCTs? And at an IDTF?
WPS has not been covering LDCTs as preventative since the introduction of the new code, 71271, on Jan 1. I could not find any current coverage documents from WPS but found local coverage article A58641 from Palmetto. Palmetto just reprocessed all of our Railroad Medicare LDCTs to cover at 100%. Should I expect the other MACs to follow?
