Yes. On November 8, 2002, CMS issued a Program Memorandum to Intermediaries and Carriers on “Levocarnitine for use in the treatment of Carnitine Deficiency in ESRD Patients,” which contains the payment instructions for intravenous levocarnitine for ESRD Patients. The program memorandum applies to all fiscal intermediaries and is effective as of January 1, 2003.
