Highmark Corrects Max. Number of Studies Table


Through the efforts of AANEM's State Liaison in New Jersey, Dr. Alexander Pendino, Highmark Medicare Services has corrected the Maximum Number of Studies Table included within its local coverage determination. Highmark was notified during the comment period in February that the table it included was not accurate and should be modified. Dr. Pendino spoke with Dr. Eileen Moynihan, Medical Director at Highmark Medicare, and discussed the inaccuracy. The modifications were not included when the new policy was released in earlier this year. Ultimately, Dr. Pendino's persistence resulted a recent correction of the table.
