Updates to JE/JF Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) and Billing and Coding Articles (BCAs)

In the coming weeks, all Noridian LCDs and BCAs for Medicare Part A and B will be updated to combine Jurisdiction E and Jurisdiction F into a single document. The current JF versions will be retired and consolidated into the JE versions.

Per the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), this update is considered non-substantive and does not alter the intent of coverage or non-coverage outlined in any LCD.

Once these updates are reflected in the Medicare Coverage Database, the Noridian website will also be revised to display the new unified documents.
