Wiki Radiology LMRPs

[coder16]

I am trying to locate a listing of LMRP for Radiology services on CMS website or Noridian's with no luck.

If any one knows the direct link to this I would appreciate you passing it on.

Thank you!

Try this one for CMS: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/DeterminationProcess/
but keep in mind the term changed and that might be why you are having trouble finding them. The term LMRP was replaced with LCD (local coverage determination) and CMS houses the NCD (national coverage determinations)

Rhonda - Thanks for your help!

I find it best to select local (enless I need national)
then search by my contractor (I have found that if I search by geographic area / state, I do not get the correct LCD/LMRP. For instance, the geographic will list payables that are not on my local LCD.)

You can to this at the same link Rhonda replied with, but I find it sometimes difficult to navigate CMS' website and I have the direct link in my favorites labled LCD's, so I thought I'd send it. Hope it helps
