Response to the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Medial Directors

The APC organized a response to the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Medial Directors for providing information and transparency to the Committee (CAC) Meeting Regarding Facet Joint and Medial Nerve Branch Procedures.
 
NANS offered input to help provide greater background and understanding of facet procedures and its literature to help the workgroup in their assessment. NANS believes facet procedures are of the most important tools pain physicians use to control chronic neck and back pain, and it's critical that the MACs ensure proper coverage guidelines.
