When Medicare does a revised version of an LCD and the effective date of one is 02/02/09 & the second one is 03/02/09 & the third is 09/30/09 I know you would follow the newest one. Here is my question and I hope I address this correctly. On the first two LCD there was no limit of destructions but on the newest one there is a limit now of 5 levels unilaterally or bilaterally on the same date of service and that it is not expected that repeat destruction at the same level will exceed 2 treatments within a 12 month(365 days) period of time. Does that 12 month period start on the new LCD effective date of does that mean 12 months from the last proedure? Thanks for your help
