CMS Proposes Removing 10 Outdated National Coverage Policies-thegraysheet: CMS has proposed removing 10 national coverage determinations as part of an expedited removal process to review long-standing NCDs and remove those that are either no longer clinically pertinent or used infrequently. The Medicare agency posted the list Nov. 27, the first application of its expedited removal process announced in August. Included among the NCDs are policies for laser procedures, a carotid sinus nerve stimulator and electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring during open-heart surgery.
