The top five denial reasons are:
A Local Coverage Determination (LCD) is a Medicare policy that defines which tests are covered, which ICD-10 codes support medical necessity, and testing frequency limitations. Tennessee falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction J (JJ), administered by Palmetto GBA, which has strict LCDs for molecular and genetic testing. Billing a test with a non-covered diagnosis code results in automatic denial and potential audit exposure.
