Last week, Palmetto removed “NPP” from the list of providers who can serve as the active provider of a qualifying condition which is designated with an asterisk in their Local Coverage Article.   

Previously, the LCA stated, “When the patient’s condition is 1 of those designated by an asterisk (*) above, routine procedures are covered only if the patient is under the active care of a doctor of medicine or osteopathy or NPP who documents the condition.” That sentence has been changed to remove “or NPP.” Palmetto is the Medicare Part B Contractor with jurisdiction over WV, VA, NC, SC, TN, AL, and GA.
