Coverage for Coronary Interventions and Devices

Local Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) as well as other third party payers have their own coverage policies for coronary interventions and devices. You should contact your local Medicare Contractor and third party payers for information on their specific coverage policies for interventional cardiology. There is currently no national Medicare coverage decision for coronary interventions. Most local Medicare Contractors, Fiscal Intermediaries and/or Carriers have posted their Local Coverage Decisions (LCD) on interventional cardiology on their websites.

You can find a list of Medicare Administrative Contractors, Fiscal Intermediaries and Carriers at the CMS webpage.
