National Government Services (NGS) Consolidation of Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs)

The legacy companies that now comprise National Government Services (Anthem Health Plans of New Hampshire, Associated Health Services, AdminaStar Federal, Empire Medicare Services, and United Government Services) will consolidate Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) and coverage articles over the course of 2007 and 2008. Some LCDs and articles may be retired in the early part of 2007, and beginning in mid 2007, new and revised policies will begin to be issued. New policies will undergo the established advice and comment process. In the meantime, existing LCDs and articles posted on the Medicare Database and contractor Web sites remain in effect for the states for which they were originally issued. Providers and other interested parties will be notified of new and revised policies resulting from that consolidation process as they are issued.
