"NCDs and coverage provisions in interpretive manuals are not subject to the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) Review Process (42 CFR 405.860 and 42 CFR 426 [Subpart D]). In addition, an administrative law judge may not review an NCD. See §1869(f) (1) (A) (i) of the Social Security Act."

This was found in one WPS's billing/coding guidelines attached to an LCD. Anyone have an idea what this means? "An administrative law judge may not review an NCD?"

Just curious!
