What changed

The instrument repeals the Nuclear Medicine Imaging Services Determination 2026 in its entirety, removing the legislative framework that governed Medicare-eligible nuclear medicine imaging services. This action eliminates the specific fee schedules, service descriptors, and eligibility criteria previously established for nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures.

Healthcare providers offering nuclear medicine imaging services should prepare for potential gaps in service coverage determination. Patients may face uncertainty regarding Medicare benefits for nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures until a replacement arrangement is established. Providers should maintain awareness of forthcoming guidance from the Department of Health regarding service continuity.

What to do next

  1. Monitor for replacement determination or alternative arrangements
  2. Review Medicare billing implications for nuclear medicine imaging services
  3. Consult with department on future service coverage arrangements
