The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have revised the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) for 2008. The revised Subchapter 6 is effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2008. For dates of service on or after January 1, 2008, you must use the new codes in order to obtain payment. If you wish to obtain a fee schedule, you may download the Division of Health Care Finance and Policy regulations at no cost at www.mass.gov/dhcfp. You may also purchase a paper copy of Division of Health Care Finance and Policy regulations from either the Massachusetts State Bookstore or from the Division of Health Care Finance and Policy (see addresses and telephone numbers below). You must contact them first to find out the price of the paper copy of the publication. The regulation titles for IDTF services are 114.3 CMR 18.00: Radiology and 114.3 CMR 17.00 Medicine Manual.
