CodeMed offers 4 different searches to help you with the appropriate medical code specificity:

A. CPT to LCD: 

What’s the LCD (local coverage determination for Medicare) for this CPT Code?

Search by state (or all states) for the LCD.* Information will link directly to the specific document laying out all necessary information.

*LCD documents are developed by the local Medicare carrier to outline medical necessity and billing requirements. Claims will be denied or audited for refund if these critical informations are lacking in billing and medical documentation.

I have the LCD document ID!

Search directly for the relevant information by typing the LCD (only the numbers without preceding ‘L’)  in here. Information available include contractor information, ID, title, CMS National Coverage Policy, Abstracts and so much more.
