This is a billing question related to LCD's for California and NCDs.
For California LCDs, I understand that it is divided into 3 areas: Entire State, Northern & Southern, correct?
What supercedes what? I am coding/billing from Southern California. Here are the various scenarios and what I think. PLEASE, correct me if I am mistaken.
1. NO LCD for So Cal but there is one for Northern. I say Northern does NOTapply to me.
2. NO LCD for So Cal but there is one for Entire State. I say it Entire State would apply to me.
3. LCD for So Cal but there is also one for Entire State. I say So Cal LCD supercedes Entire state.
4. No LCD for So Cal but there is a NCD. I say NCD applies to me.
5. LCD for So Cal but there is also a NCD. I say LCD supercedes NCD.
6. LCD for North Cal but also NCD. NCD applies to So Cal.
7. LCD for Entire State but also has a NCD. I say Entire State LCD supercedes NCD.
Did I confuse the heck out of you? I'm confused too. Hope someone out there can help me out. Thanks a bunch!
