HTA and coverage lookup

Choose HTA agency web search to search official NICE, CDA-AMC, HAS, IQWiG, G-BA, PBAC and other agency sites through Exa. These are web search results from agency sites, not an HTA database. Agency and jurisdiction come from the official URL domain; publication dates are shown only when supplied by Exa and must be checked on the source page. Results can include news or background pages as well as assessments, and do not establish a decision or current policy status. Exa is a paid provider. When its deployment key is missing, the page says HTA agency search is not configured on this deployment; choose CMS national or local coverage to continue.

This page provides an integrated search of the CMS Medicare Coverage Database report catalogs. Choose national coverage determinations or local coverage determinations, then enter a technology term, condition or document identifier. The search matches catalog titles and identifiers and returns up to ten records. It does not search every paragraph of a policy or evaluate billing-code eligibility. A title match is a starting point for opening the official policy, not a determination that a service will be paid.

National coverage determinations and local coverage determinations have different scopes. A local record can identify a Medicare administrative contractor and may include effective and retirement dates. Check that the contractor, benefit, setting and relevant date fit the question you are researching. Catalog information alone may not describe all related billing articles or applicable coding instructions. If the needed detail is absent, follow the official record and its linked documents rather than inferring a coverage rule from the title.

NICE technology appraisals, CDA-AMC reimbursement reviews and the EU HTA portal are provided as labelled portal links. They concern assessment or recommendation processes in their own jurisdictions. Opening one does not run a CMS search, and this page does not combine the agencies into a universal reimbursement result. Some destination portals require you to enter your topic again. Keep the agency name and decision type visible when moving between these sources.

When recording a result, keep source agency, jurisdiction, decision type, identifier, version, source date, retrieval time and official URL together. Add the technology, indication, population and limitations only after checking the policy text. Preserve the distinction between a catalogue date and the date on which coverage becomes effective. A downloaded result records the search performed here; it does not remain automatically updated when CMS changes a policy.

For cross-jurisdiction research, use separate rows for CMS coverage, NICE appraisal guidance, Canadian reimbursement recommendations and EU assessment material. Describe the comparator and decision context in each row instead of treating different outcomes as direct contradictions. Economic models, supporting appendices and third-party coding material can have their own reuse restrictions. This page retrieves public catalog facts and links to the fuller documents. It does not reproduce those models, accept coding licences on your behalf or certify that a claim meets a payer’s requirements.
