-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice lists CMS manual instructions, substantive and
interpretive regulations, and other Federal Register notices that were
published from January 2005 through March 2005, relating to the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. This notice provides information on
national coverage determinations (NCDs) affecting specific medical and
health care services under Medicare. Additionally, this notice
identifies certain devices with investigational device exemption (IDE)
numbers approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that
potentially may be covered under Medicare. This notice also includes
listings of all approval numbers from the Office of Management and
Budget for collections of information in CMS regulations. Finally, for
the first time, this notice includes a list of Medicare-approved
carotid stent facilities.
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, and to foster more open and transparent
collaboration efforts, we are also including all Medicaid issuances and
Medicare and Medicaid substantive and interpretive regulations
(proposed and final) published during this 3-month time frame.
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

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 the
two 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, all Medicare contractors
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, and to foster more open
and transparent collaboration, we are continuing our practice of
including Medicare substantive and interpretive regulations (proposed
and final) published during the respective 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, NCDs, and FDA-approved IDEs published during the subject
quarter 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 NCD
Manual (NCDM, formerly the Medicare Coverage Issues Manual (CIM)) may
wish to review the August 21, 1989, publication (54 FR 34555). Those
interested in the revised process used in making NCDs under the
Medicare program may review the September 26, 2003, publication (68 FR
55634).
To aid the reader, we have organized and divided this current
listing into eight 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 or multiple
instruction(s). 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 quarter covered by this notice. For each
item, we list the--
[cir] Date published;
[cir] Federal Register citation;
[cir] Parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that have
changed (if applicable);
[cir] Agency file code number; and
[cir] Title of the regulation.
Addendum V includes completed NCDs, or reconsiderations of
completed NCDs, from the quarter covered by this notice. Completed
decisions are identified by the section of the NCDM in which the
decision appears, the title, the date the publication was issued, and
the effective date of the decision.
Addendum VI includes listings of the FDA-approved IDE
categorizations, using the IDE numbers the FDA 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
IDE number.
Addendum VII includes listings of all approval numbers
from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for collections of
information in CMS regulations in title 42; title 45, subchapter C; and
title 20 of the CFR.
Addendum VIII includes listings of Medicare-approved
carotid stent facilities. All facilities listed meet CMS's standards
for performing carotid artery stenting for high risk patients.
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,

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)
[[Page 36622]]
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.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html,
by using local WAIS client software, or by telnet to
swais.gpoaccess.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' 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. For each CMS publication listed in
Addendum III, CMS publication and transmittal numbers are shown. To
help FDLs locate the materials, use the CMS publication and transmittal
numbers. For example, to find the Medicare NCD publication titled
``Implantable Automatic Defibrillators,'' use CMS-Pub. 100-03,
Transmittal No. 29.

Addendum V.--National Coverage Determinations [January Through March
2005]
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 were issued
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 pending decisions
or, in some cases, explain why it was not appropriate to issue an NCD.
We identify completed decisions by the section of the NCDM in which the
decision appears, the title, the date the publication was issued, and
the effective date of the decision. Information on completed decisions
as well as pending decisions has also been posted on the CMS Web site
at http://cms.hhs.gov/coverage.

IDE. Category A refers to experimental IDEs, and Category B refers to
non-experimental IDEs. To obtain more information about the classes or
categories, please refer to the Federal Register notice published on

Addendum VIII--Medicare-Approved Carotid Stent Facilities (January
Through March 2005)
On March 17, 2005, we issued our decision memorandum on carotid
artery stenting. We determined that carotid artery stenting with
embolic protection is reasonable and necessary only if performed in
facilities that have been determined to be competent in performing the
evaluation, procedure, and follow-up necessary to ensure optimal
patient outcomes. We have created a list of minimum standards for
facilities modeled in part on professional society statements on
competency. All facilities must at least meet our standards in order to
receive coverage for carotid artery stenting for high risk patients.
