Questions

Why are some codes missing?

A code is listed only when the LCD or NCD text in this read says a claim will be denied, is not covered, or is non-covered. If that sentence is not in the document, the code is omitted here.

Is this a denial predictor?

No. These are sentences CMS published in the policy. A signed answer replays the rule for a date of service. It does not score the likelihood that a payer will deny a claim.
