health insurance. Administration and oversight of these programs involves the following: (1)

furnishing information to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, health care providers, and the

public; and (2) maintaining effective communications with CMS regional offices, State

governments, State Medicaid agencies, State survey agencies, various providers of health care, all

Medicare contractors that process claims and pay bills, National Association of Insurance

Commissioners (NAIC), health insurers, and other stakeholders. 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) and Public Health Service Act. We also issue

various manuals, memoranda, and statements necessary to administer and oversee the programs

efficiently.

Section 1871(c) 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

.

II. Revised Format for the Quarterly Issuance Notices

While we are publishing the quarterly notice required by section 1871(c) of the Act, we will

no longer republish duplicative information that is available to the public elsewhere. We believe

this approach is in alignment with CMS’ commitment to the general principles of the President’s

Executive Order 13563 released January 2011entitled “Improving Regulation and Regulatory

Review,” which promotes modifying and streamlini ng an agency’s regulatory program to be more

effective in achieving regulatory objectives. Section 6 of Executive Order 13563 requires agencies

to identify regulations that may be “outmoded, ine ffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome,

and to modify, streamline, expand or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned.” This

approach is also in alignment with the Presid ent’s Open Government and Transparency Initiative

that establishes a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration.

Therefore, this quarterly notice provides only the specific updates that have occurred in the

3-month period along with a hyperlink to the full listing that is available on the CMS Web site or

the appropriate data registries that are used as our resources. This information is the most current

up-to-date information, and will be available earlier than we publish our quarterly notice. We

believe the Web site list provides more timely access for beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers.

We also believe the Web site offers a more convenient tool for the public to find the full list of

qualified providers for these specific services and offers more flexibility and “real

time”accessibility. In addition, many of the Web sites have listservs; that is, the public can

subscribe and receive immediate notification of any updates to the Web site. These listservs avoid

the need to check the Web site, as notification of updates is automatic and sent to the subscriber as

they occur. If assessing a Web site proves to be difficult, the contact person listed can provide

information.

III. How to Use the Notice

This notice is organized into 15 addenda so that a reader may access the subjects published

during the quarter covered by the notice 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 should view the manuals at http://www.cms.gov/manuals

It offers day-to-day operating instructions, policies, andprocedures based on statutes and regulations, guidelines, models, and directives. In2003, we transformed the CMS Program Manuals into a web user-friendly presentationand renamed it the CMS Online Manual System.How to Obtain ManualsThe Internet-only Manuals (IOMs) are a replica of the Agency’s official recordcopy. Paper-based manuals are CMS manualsthat were officially released inhardcopy. The majority of these manuals were transferred into the Internet-onlymanual (IOM) or retired. Pub 15-1, Pub 15-2 and Pub 45 are exceptions to this ruleand are still active paper-based manuals. The remaining paper-based manuals are forreference purposes only. If you notice policy contained in the paper-based manualsthat was not transferred to the IOM, send a message via the CMS Feedback tool.Those wishing to subscribe to old versions of CMS manuals should contact theNational Technical Information Service, Department of Commerce, 5301 ShawneeRoad, Alexandria, VA 22312 Telephone (703-605-6050). You can download copies ofthe listed material free of charge at:http://cms.gov/manuals.How to Review Transmittals or Program MemorandaThose wishing to review transmittals and program memoranda can access thisinformation at a local Federal Depository Library (FDL). Under the FDL program,government publications are sent to approximately 1,400 designated librariesthroughout the United States. Some FDLs may have arrangements to transfer materialto a local library not designated as an FDL.Contact any libraryto locate the nearestFDL. This information is available athttp://www.gpo.gov/libraries/In addition, individuals may contact regional depositorylibraries that receive andretain at least one copy of most Federalgovernment publications, either in printed ormicrofilm form, for use by the general public.

Individuals mayobtain information about the location of the nearest regional depository library fromany library. CMS publication and transmittal numbers are shown in the listing entitledMedicare and Medicaid Manual Instructions.To help FDLs locate the materials, usethe CMS publication and transmittal numbers.

We cover implantable cardioverter defibrillators(ICDs) for certain clinical indications, as long as information about the procedures isreported to a central registry. Detailed descriptions of the covered indications areavailable in the NCD. In January 2005, CMS established the ICD Abstraction Toolthrough the Quality Network Exchange (QNet) as a temporary data collectonmechanism. On October 27, 2005, CMS announced that the American College ofCardiology’s National Cardiovascular Data Registry (ACC-NCDR) ICD Registrysatisfies the data reporting requirements in the NCD. Hospitals needed to transition tothe ACC-NCDR ICD Registry by April 2006.Effective January 27, 2005, to obtain reimbursement, Medicare NCD policyrequires that providers implanting ICDs for primary prevention clinical indications(that is, patients without a history of cardiac arrest or spontaneous arrhythmia) reportdata on each primary prevention ICD procedure.Details of the clinical indications thatare covered by Medicare and their respective data reporting requirements are availablein the Medicare NCD Manual, which is on the CMS Web site athttp://www.cms.hhs.gov/Manuals/IOM/itemdetail.asp?filterType=none&filterByDID=99&sortByDID=1&sortOrder=ascending&itemID=CMS014961.A provider can use either of two mechanisms to satisfy the data reportingrequirement. Patients may be enrolled eitherin an Investigational Device Exemptiontrial studying ICDs as identified by the FDA or in the ACC-NCDR ICD registry.Therefore, for a beneficiary to receivea Medicare-covered ICD implantation forprimary prevention, the beneficiary must receive the scan ina facility that participatesin the ACC-NCDR ICD registry. The entire list of facilities that participate in theACC-NCDR ICD registry can be found atwww.ncdr.com/webncdr/commonFor the purposes of this quarterly notice, we are providing only the specificupdates that have occurred to the list ofMedicare-approved ICD facilities in the 3-month period.
