About this policy
CMS NCA document | source_status=Closed | review_type=New | public_comment_open=False | document_id=CAG-00098N
Coverage indications
CMS intends to revise the NCD at CIM 50-36 to state that (1) both SPECT or FDG PET are reasonable and necessary as a primary or initial diagnostic study for determining myocardial viability prior to revascularization; (2) PET continues to be reasonable and necessary following an inconclusive SPECT; (3) the greater specificity of PET makes using SPECT following an inconclusive PET of no added value and thus not reasonable and necessary.
