Courtesy of Gail Atnip from Novitas:

A draft Ambulance policy was posted to the Novitas Website you can view it at this link http://www.novitas-solutions.com/LCDSearchResults/faces/spaces/search/page/lcd.jspx?medicareType=Part%20B&State=Texas&Jurisdiction=JH&lcdID=dl32606

Comments can be made until March 5, 2015 via the internet http://www.novitas-solutions.com/webcenter/spaces/MedicareJH/page/pagebyid?contentId=00006146

Since there is not an ambulance representative on the CAC I encourage anyone who has concerns to attend the open CAC which is in Dallas on January 29, 2015. Here is the information on the meeting http://www.novitas-solutions.com/webcenter/spaces/MedicareJH/page/pagebyid?contentId=00007708  attendees must register in order to attend.

The big thing that stands out is the removal of the ICD codes for coverage.
