Have you checked the CMS website for the LCDs for your area? http://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/indexes/national-and-local-indexes.aspx Choose your state and type of LCD you are looking for (I tend to stay with the active, but have referred to the others at times) and then choose your carrier in the resulting window. I have downloaded the pertinent Ophthalmology LCDs and refer to them every time I go to bill for the test (OCT, Avastin injection, etc.) which saves a heck of a lot of time! Hope this helps!
