SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is responsible for 

administering the Medicare and 

Medicaid programs and coordination 

and oversight of private 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. Format for the Quarterly Issuance 

Notices 

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 website or the 

appropriate data registries that are used 

as our resources. This is the most 

current up-to-date information and will 

be available earlier than we publish our 

quarterly notice. We believe the website 

list provides more timely access for 

beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers. 

We also believe the website offers a 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 216 / Thursday, November 7, 2024 / Notices 88283 

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 

websites have listservs; that is, the 

public can subscribe and receive 

immediate notification of any updates to 

the website. These listservs avoid the 

need to check the website, as 

notification of updates is automatic and 

sent to the subscriber as they occur. If 

assessing a website 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. 

The Director of the Office of Strategic 

Operations and Regulatory Affairs of the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS), Kathleen Cantwell, 

having reviewed and approved this 

document, authorizes Trenesha FultzMimms, who is the Federal Register 

Liaison, to electronically sign this 

document for purposes of publication in 

the Federal Register.

Publication Dates for the Previous Four Quarterly Notices 

We publish this notice at the end of each quarter reflecting 

information released by CMS during the previous quarter. The publication 

dates of the previous four Quarterly Listing of Program Issuances notices 

are: October 26, 2023 (88 FR 73591), January 30, 2024 (89 FR 5897), April 

29, 2024 (89 FR 33356) and July 22, 2024 (89 FR 59104). We are 

providing only the specific updates that have occurred in the 3-month period along with a hyperlink to the website to access this information and a 

contact person for questions or additional information. 

Addendum I: Medicare and Medicaid Manual Instructions 

(July through September 2024) 

The CMS Manual System is used by CMS program components, 

partners, providers, contractors, Medicare Advantage organizations, and 

State Survey Agencies to administer CMS programs. It offers day-to-day 

operating instructions, policies, and procedures based on statutes and 

regulations, guidelines, models, and directives. In 2003, we transformed the 

CMS Program Manuals into a web user-friendly presentation and renamed 

it the CMS Online Manual System. 

How to Obtain Manuals 

The Internet-only Manuals (IOMs) are a replica of the Agency's 

official record copy. Paper-based manuals are CMS manuals that were 

officially released in hardcopy. The majority of these manuals were 

transferred into the Internet-only manual (IOM) or retired. Pub 15-1, Pub 

15-2 and Pub 45 are exceptions to this rule and are still active paper-based 

manuals. The remaining paper-based manuals are for reference purposes 

only. If you notice policy contained in the paper-based manuals that 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 the National Technical Information Service, Department of 

Commerce, 5301 Shawnee Road, Alexandria, VA 22312 Telephone (703-605-6050). You can download copies of the listed material free of 

charge at: http://cms.gov/manuals. 

How to Review Transmittals or Program Memoranda 

Those wishing to review transmittals and program memoranda can 

access this information at a local Federal Depository Library (FOL). Under 

the FOL program, government publications are sent to approximately 1,400 

designated libraries throughout the United States. Some FD Ls may have 

arrangements to transfer material to a local library not designated as an 

FDL. Contact any I ibrary to locate the nearest FDL. This information is 

available at http://www.gpo.gov/libraries/ 

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

public. These libraries provide reference service

however, they are not sales outlets. Individuals 

about the location of the nearest regional deposit

Addendum VII: Medicare-Approved Carotid Stent Facilities 

(July through September 2024) 

Addendum VII includes listings of Medicare-approved carotid 

stent facilities. All facilities listed meet CMS standards for performing 

carotid artery stenting for high risk patients. 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. For the purposes of this 

quarterly notice, we are providing only the specific updates that have occurred in the 3-month period. There were no additions, deletions, or 

editorial changes to the listing for Medicare-approved carotid stent facilities 

for this 3-month period. This information is available at:

tomography (PET) scans for particular oncologic indications when they are 

performed in a facility that participates in the NOPR. 

In January 2005, we issued our decision memorandum on positron 

emission tomography (PET) scans, which stated that CMS would cover 

PET scans for particular oncologic indications, as long as they were 

perfonned in the context of a clinical study. We have since recognized the 

National Oncologic PET Registry as one of these clinical studies. 

Therefore, in order for a beneficiary to receive a Medicare-covered PET 

scan, the beneficiary must receive the scan in a facility that participates in 

the registry. There were no additions, deletions, or editorial changes to the 

listing of National Oncologic Positron Emission Tomography Registry 

(NOPR) in the 3-month period. This information is available at 

http://www.cms.gov/MedicareApprovedFacilitie/NOPR/list.a~p#TopOfPage.

Addendum XII: Medicare-Approved Ventricular Assist Device 

(Destination Therapy) Facilities (July through September 2024) 

Addendum XII includes a listing of Medicare-approved facilities 

that receive coverage for ventricular assist devices (VADs) used as 

destination therapy. All facilities were required to meet our standards in 

order to receive coverage for V ADs implanted as destination therapy. On 

October 1, 2003, we issued our decision memorandum on V ADs for the 

clinical indication of destination therapy. We determined that V ADs used 

as destination therapy are reasonable and necessary only if performed in 

facilities that have been determined to have the experience and 

infrastructure to ensure optimal patient outcomes. We established facility 

standards and an application process. All facilities were required to meet 

our standards in order to receive coverage for V ADs implanted as 

destination therapy. 

For the purposes of this quarterly notice, we are providing only the 

specific updates to the list of Medicare-approved facilities that meet our 

standards that have occurred in the 3-month period. This information is 

available at
