About this policy
As an important part of Medicare Local Coverage Determination (LCD) development, Noridian Healthcare Solutions solicits comments from the provider community and from members of the public who may be affected by or interested in our LCDs. The purpose of the advice and comment process is to gain the expertise and experience of those commenting. We would like to thank those who suggested changes to the LCD for Computed Tomography Cerebral Perfusion Analysis. The official notice period for the final LCD begins on October 29, 2020 and the final determination will become effective for services rendered on or after December 13, 2020.
