The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will correct the policies with its next update, which is scheduled for April 1. But CMS did not require its Medicare contractors to reprocess the denied claims.
CMS has instructed MACs to adjust any claims brought to their attention that were processed in error for any of the NCDs included in CR 10318. These adjustments will not take place until after April 2, 2018 unless otherwise noted.
National Government Services (NGS) has already updated their system and will reprocess claims upon the providers request.
