ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice lists CMS manual instructions, substantive and 
interpretive regulations, and other Federal Register notices that were 
published from April 2005 through June 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, 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 
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. (See Section III of this 
notice for how to obtain listed material.)

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, 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://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,

[[Page 55865]]

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.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 
``Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty,'' use CMS-Pub. 100-03, 
Transmittal No. 33.

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.

Addendum VI.--FDA-Approved Category B IDEs

[April Through June 2005]

    Under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c) devices

process, the FDA assigns one of two categories to each FDA-approved 
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 
April 21, 1997 (62 FR 19328).
    The following list includes all Category B IDEs approved by FDA 
during the second quarter, April through June 2005.

Addendum VIII

Medicare-Approved Carotid Stent Facilities

[April Through June 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.
