Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Quarterly Listing of Program 
Issuances--April Through June 2006

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 April 2006 through June 2006, 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 and a list of Medicare-
approved carotid stent facilities. In addition, for the first time, we 
are also including a list of the American College of Cardiology's 
National Cardiovascular Data registry sites, active CMS coverage-
related guidance documents, and special one-time notices regarding 
national coverage provisions.
    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

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,

[[Page 57605]]

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:
    <bullet> Addendum I lists the publication dates of the most recent 
quarterly listings of program issuances.
    <bullet> Addendum II identifies previous Federal Register documents 
that contain a description of all previously published CMS Medicare and 
Medicaid manuals and memoranda.
    <bullet> 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.
    <bullet> 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.
    <bullet> 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.
    <bullet> 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.
    <bullet> 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.
    <bullet> Addendum VIII includes listings of Medicare-approved 
carotid stent facilities. All facilities listed meet CMS standards for 
performing carotid artery stenting for high risk patients.
    <bullet> Addendum IX includes a list of the American College of 
Cardiology's National Cardiovascular Data registry sites. We cover 
implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for certain indications, 
as long as information about the procedures is reported to a central 
registry.
    <bullet> Addendum X includes a list of active CMS guidance 
documents. As required by section 731 of the Medicare Prescription 
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108-
173, enacted on December 8, 2003), we will begin listing the current 
versions of our guidance documents in each quarterly listings notice.
    <bullet> Addendum XI includes a list of special one-time notices 
regarding national coverage provisions. We are publishing a list of 
issues that require public notification, such a particular clinical 
trial or research study that qualifies for Medicare coverage.

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

    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) 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:
    <bullet> Titles XI, XVIII, and XIX of the Act.
    <bullet> CMS-related regulations.
    <bullet> CMS manuals and monthly revisions.
    <bullet> CMS program memoranda.
    The titles of the Compilation of the Social Security Laws are 
current as of January 1, 2005. (Updated titles of the Social Security 
Laws are available on the Internet at http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/comp-toc.htm.) The

[[Page 57606]]

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 
``Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs,'' use CMS-Pub. 100-03, Transmittal 
No. 52.

Addendum V--National Coverage Determinations

[April Through June 2006]

    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 2006]

    Under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c) devices 
fall into one of three classes. To assist CMS under this categorization 
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

Addendum VIII--Medicare-Approved Carotid Stent Facilities

[April Through June 2006]

    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.

Addendum IX--American College of Cardiology's National Cardiovascular 
Data Registry Sites

[April Through June 2006]

    In order to obtain reimbursement, Medicare national coverage policy 
requires that providers implanting ICDs for primary prevention clinical 
indications (that is, patients without a history of cardiac arrest or 
spontaneous arrhythmia) report data on each primary prevention ICD 
procedure. This policy became effective January 27, 2005. Details of 
the clinical indications that are covered by Medicare and their 
respective data reporting requirements are available in the Medicare 
National Coverage Determination (NCD) Manual, which is on the Centers 
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Web site at http://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 
reporting requirement. Patients may be enrolled either in an 
Investigational Device Exemption trial studying ICDs as identified by 
the FDA or in the American College of Cardiology's National 
Cardiovascular Data Registry (ACC-NCDR) ICD registry. Therefore, in 
order for a beneficiary to receive a Medicare-covered ICD implantation 
for primary prevention, the beneficiary must receive the scan in a 
facility that participates in the ACC-NCDR ICD registry.
    We maintain a list of facilities that have been enrolled in this 
registry. Addendum IX includes the facilities that have been designated 
in the quarter covered by this notice.

Addendum X--Active CMS Coverage-Related Guidance Documents

[April Through June 2006]

    On September 24, 2004, we published a notice in the Federal 
Register (69 FR 57325), in which we explained how we would develop 
coverage-related guidance documents. These guidance documents are 
required under section 731 of the MMA. In our notice, we committed to 
the public that, ``At regular intervals, we will update a list of all 
guidance documents in the Federal Register.''
    Addendum X includes a list of active CMS guidance documents as of 
the ending date of the period covered by this notice. To obtain full-
text copies of these documents, visit the CMS Coverage Web site at 
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/mcd/index_list.asp?list_type=mcd_1.
    Document Name: Factors CMS Considers in Commissioning External 
Technology Assessments.
    Date of Issuance: April 11, 2006.

    Document Name: Factors CMS Considers in Opening a National Coverage 
Determination.
    Date of Issuance: April 11, 2006.

    Document Name: (Draft) Factors CMS Considers in Referring Topics to 
the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee.
    Date of Issuance: March 9, 2005.

    Document Name: National Coverage Determinations with Data 
Collection as a Condition of Coverage: Coverage With Evidence 
Development.
    Date of Issuance: July 12, 2006.

Addendum XI--List of Special One-Time Notices Regarding National 
Coverage Provisions

[April Through June 2006]

    As medical technologies, the contexts under which they are 
delivered, and the health needs of Medicare beneficiaries grow 
increasingly complex, our national coverage determination (NCD) process 
must adapt to accommodate these complexities. As part of this 
adaptation, our national coverage decisions often include multi-faceted 
coverage determinations, which may place conditions on the patient 
populations eligible for coverage of a particular item or service, the 
providers who deliver a particular service, or the methods in which 
data are collected to supplement the delivery of the item or service 
(such as participation in a clinical trial).
    We outline these conditions as we release new or revised NCDs. 
However, details surrounding these conditions may need to be shared 
with the public as ``one-time notices'' in the Federal Register. For 
example, we may require that a particular medical service may be 
delivered only in the context of a CMS-recognized clinical research 
study, which was not named in the NCD itself. We would then use 
Addendum XI of this notice, along with our coverage Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/coverage, to provide the public with information about 
the clinical research study that it ultimately recognizes.
    Addendum XI includes any additional information we may need to 
share about the conditions under which an NCD was issued as of the 
ending date of the period covered by this notice.

PET for Dementia Trials

    We released a final decision memorandum on this topic on September 
15, 2004, entitled, ``Positron Emission Tomography (FDG) and Other 
Neuroimaging Devices for Suspected Dementia.'' This decision stated 
that Medicare will consider an FDG-PET scan reasonable and necessary in 
patients with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia only in the 
context of an approved clinical trial that contains patient safeguards 
and protections to ensure proper administration, use and evaluation of 
the FDG-PET scan. Since then, we have reviewed a trial at University of 
California, Los Angeles (UCLA) that meets the criteria set forth in our 
NCD.
    This Federal Register notice serves to announce that we have 
entered into a contract with the principal investigator of the trial, 
``Metabolic Cerebral Imaging in Incipient Dementia: Early and Long-Term 
Value of Imaging Brain Metabolism.'' This trial is being conducted at 
several sites, but is headquartered at UCLA. We have entered into a 
contract with the trial's principal investigator at UCLA so that we can 
purchase the data necessary to determine that the service is being 
provided within the trial in a manner consistent with the requirements 
under the NCD. By signing a statement of work with UCLA, we now have 
the clinical setting framework in place so that Medicare can begin 
paying for PET scans under its 2004 NCD.
    Since the trial is now CMS-approved, Medicare-participating 
participants may be eligible for coverage of the FDG-PET scans and 
routine clinical costs. For more information on our national coverage 
policy, please refer to the September 2004 final decision memorandum, 
which is posted online at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/mcd/viewdecisionmemo.asp?id=104.
