Abstract

The article offers the author's insights on the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) audits in the Centers for Medicine and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding its outdated National Coverage Determination (NCD) 80.3.1. It states that NCD 80.3.1 mandates that a flourescein angiography be conducted within 30 days before ophthalmic photodynamic therapy (OPT). It mentions that CMS received a formal written request to review the NCD 80.3.1 from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) on May 25, 2012.
