Note: CMS revised this article due to a revised CR 12124. The CR revision changed business requirements for NCD 90.2, Next Generation Sequencing. This results in a new spreadsheet for that NCD by retaining all ICD-10 Not Otherwise Classified (NOC) diagnosis codes proposed for deletion effective July 1, 2022. See important note in dark red font on page 2. Also, CMS changed the CR release date, transmittal number, and the CR web address. All other information is the same.

CR 12124 tells you about updates of International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) conversions and other coding updates specific to National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). These changes result from:

  • Newly available code
  • Coding revisions to NCDs released separately
  • Coding feedback received

CMS continues to implement any policy-related changes to NCDs via the current, longstanding NCD process. There are no policy-related changes with these updates. Make sure your billing staffs are aware of these updates.
