Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Quarterly Listing of Program 
Issuances--Fourth Quarter, 1999 through First Quarter, 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 1999, through March 2002, relating to the 
Medicare and Medicaid programs. This notice also identifies certain 
devices with investigational device exemption numbers approved by the 
Food and Drug Administration that potentially may be covered under 
Medicare, and provides information on national coverage determinations 
affecting specific medical and health care services 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.

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, and Food and Drug Administration-approved investigational 
device exemptions, and national coverage determinations 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 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:
     Addendum I lists the publication dates of the most recent 
quarterly listings of program issuances.
     Addendum II identifies previous Federal Register documents 
that contain a description of all previously published CMS Medicare and 
Medicaid manuals and memoranda.
     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.
     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--
     Date published;

[[Page 43763]]

     Federal Register citation;
     Parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that have 
changed (if applicable);
     Agency file code number;
     Title of the regulation;
     Ending date of the comment period (if applicable); and
     Effective date (if applicable).
     Addendum V includes listings of the Food and Drug 
Administration-approved investigational device exemption numbers that 
have been approved or revised during the quarters covered by this 
notice. On September 19, 1995, we published a final rule (60 FR 48417) 
establishing in regulations at 42 CFR 405.201 et seq. that certain 
devices with an investigational device exemption approved by the Food 
and Drug Administration and certain services related to those devices 
may be covered under Medicare. It is our practice to announce all 
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).
     Addendum VI includes completed national coverage 
determinations from June 28, 1999, the effective date of Medicare's new 
coverage process. Completed decisions are identified by title, a brief 
description, effective date, and section in the appropriate federal 
publication.

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) 
512-1800, Fax number (202) 512-2250 (for credit card orders); or
    National Technical Information Service, Department of Commerce, 
5825 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161, Telephone (703) 487-4630.
    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://www.hcfa.gov/pubforms/progman.htm.

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://www.hcfa.gov/regs/rulings.htm.

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:
     Titles XI, XVIII, and XIX of the Act.
     CMS-related regulations.
     CMS manuals and monthly revisions.
     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 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 
Intermediary Manual, Part 3--Claims Process, (HCFA Pub. 13-3) 
transmittal entitled ``Mammography Screening,'' use the Superintendent 
of Documents No. HE 22.8/6 and the transmittal number 1782.

Addendum V--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. 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, category (A 
or B), and criterion code.

Addendum VI--National Coverage Determinations

    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 a 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 have been 
effective since June 28, 1999, the effective date of Medicare's new 
coverage process. Please note that because we order the NCDs by 
effective date, some of the decisions are dated later than March 2002, 
the terminus for most of the other information listed in 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 a NCD. We identify completed decisions by title, 
effective date, and section of the publication where the decision can 
be found. Also,

[[Page 43843]]

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 website at http://www.hcfa.gov/coverage.
