Palmetto LCD on 4Kscore is MIA

Well sais miamianne my feeling exactly . Let's see if Trump keeps his promise of reducing cost which 4K score and clarios one does. Trump should favor companies with time and cost saving technology .

Rubin said Novitas will come out with a draft LCD in Feb. I have tried to find some mention, such as an agenda or schedule confirming a Feb meeting, but only find a reference to a Jan 26 meeting. However, there is no mention of 4Kscore for that one which is for the purpose of taking comments relative to existing Draft LCDs. So, a meeting might not be necessary for Novitas to take affirmative action, ie, issue a Draft LCD for 4kscore.

As to Palmetto, they have completed their comment period and remain firm on their non-coverage decision. The only importance that has is that MACs who are party to the MolDx arrangement go along with Palmetto. And none of them are in a position to be invoiced for 4Kscore anyway.

Novitas covers NJ, and that's were BRL is.

After reading all the links and opinions on 4K score, seems to be a difficult road ahead, not happy camper.
Something positive needs to be released soon...

trade: 4k test will grow even w/o MACs...w/ MACs the growth would be more significant.. it's NOT end of the world..

Palmetto has been known to be 'tough' to say the least.. its decision is not a surprise.

Novitas does NOT have to follow Palmetto. It's not like Palmetto gets billed any way.. Novitas gets billed and they have been paying all along..

good chance Novitas will approve 4k test..

so Palmetto's previous decision is status quo...no change... so up to Novitas to decide ..
