Lists of new, revised, and clarified medical policies and pharmacy medical policies effective in March 2022 are now available.

Medicare Advantage policies
For members enrolled in our Medicare Advantage plans, we are required to make coverage determinations for services through the CMS National Coverage Determination (NCD) policies and benefit manuals. In addition, we follow Local Coverage Determination (LCD) policies established by the Massachusetts Medicare Administrative Contractors. When there is no NCD or LCD, we follow our commercial medical policies for Medicare Advantage members. Refer to medical policy 132, Medicare Advantage Management, for a directory of commercial and Medicare policies or to the Medicare Advantage section of our medical policy site.
