Coverage indications
Section 144(a) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (Pub. L. No. 110-275) amended Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, in pertinent part, to provide for coverage of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and intensive cardiac rehabilitation (ICR) under Medicare Part B. The statute specifies certain conditions for these services, with coverage to begin on January 1, 2010. The Secretary published a notice of proposed rulemaking (74 Fed. Reg. 33, 520) on July 13, 2009. After considering public comments, the Secretary issued a final rule on November 25, 2009. (74 Fed. Reg. 61,738, 62,004). This rule was effective on January 1, 2010. In order to ensure consistency with the statute and regulations, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has decided to repeal section 20.10 from the Medicare National Coverage Determination (NCD) Manual (Pub. 100-03).
