CMS Rescinds Change Request 6375

On February 5, 2010 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rescinded Change Request(CR) 6375, Transmittal 1873, dated December 11, 2009. The rescinded CR contained instructions regarding place of service (POS) and date of service (DOS) for the professional component (i.e. interpretation) and technical component of diagnostic tests. The accompanying MLN Matters article, MM6375, is also rescinded. CMS intends to publish a replacement CR once there is policy clarification on these issues.
