First Coast reminds providers that CMS updated
MLN12124 
, which was initially released in March 2021, addressing
NCD 90.2 
, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), and the expiration of certain ICD-10 codes.
This article explained that multiple unspecified ICD-10 codes addressed within the NCD would be deleted on June 30, 2021. A link to the related NCD spreadsheet is available within the MLN article. This date presented challenges to certain providers, especially laboratories, and based on feedback received, CMS changed the end-date to June 30, 2022, providing a 12-month grace period to help avoid undue hardship for providers.
Be aware that in relation to NCD 90.2, certain unspecified ICD-10 codes will be deleted on June 30, 2022 – please ensure that you have proper and alternate coding processes in place to appropriately submit NGS claims.
