Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi Bill, Hope things are well with you. I need your opinion on the interpretation on the Medicare coverage of HCC for a liver transplant patient. It specifies the tumor(s) to be 5cm or less. Does that mean total tumors combined to be 5cm or each tumor. We have a patient with 3 tumors and combined it would be a little over 5cm, but individually they are under. The CMS guidelines are very vague. I appreciate your help with this. Hogan Transplant Financial Coordinator Lahey Clinic 41 Mall Rd.
