The Medicare ESearch is an integrated search tool that searches the IOMs, National Coverage Decisions (NCDs), and Local Coverage Decisions (LCDs) simultaneously, providing comprehensive coverage information about a particular procedure or type of procedure.
Based on statutes, regulations, guidelines, models, and directives, the Internet-only Manuals (IOMs) are an official copy of Medicare program issuances, day-to-day operating instructions, policies, and procedures. These manuals can be of great value to understanding the rules and claims adjudication process of the Medicare program.
