Summary
Medicare Advantage policy MA11.055f for GERD treatment procedures has been reissued and will be effective July 9, 2025, but was removed on the same day it was posted (September 9, 2025). This appears to be an administrative correction or withdrawal of a policy update.
Action Required
Monitor for updated guidance: Since this policy was removed on the same day it was posted, billing teams should watch for a corrected version or clarification from the payer. No immediate changes to GERD procedure billing should be made until a replacement policy is issued.
