Lung Cancer Screening Registries
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a national coverage determination (NCD) for Medicare coverage of screening for lung cancer with low dose computed tomography (LDCT) if certain eligibility requirements are met, effective February 5, 2015.
Detailed information regarding the eligibility requirements are available in the NCD. Eligible radiology imaging facilities furnishing lung cancer screening with LDCT are required to submit data to a CMS-approved registry for each lung cancer LDCT screening performed.
Below is the list of CMS-approved lung cancer screening registries.
