You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that plans may choose the networks of providers available to enrollees and may require enrollees 
to obtain authorization before receiving services. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112(a) and in 
the Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 1, Section 20.2.

The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. The Plan 
contract says that, with limited exceptions, members of the Plan must use network providers to get medical care 
and services. The only exceptions are emergencies, urgently needed care when the network is not available 
(generally, when the enrollee is out of the area), out-of-area dialysis services, and cases in which the Plan 
authorizes the use of out-of-network providers. You can find this information on pages 78-79 of the Plan's 2020

The rules say that plans must pay for a medical service or item if regular Medicare would pay for it in this case. 
You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that providers must report services correctly. Procedures should be reported with the CPT code 
that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in the Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative 
Manual, Chapter I(A). 
 
The rules say effective July 1, 2017, laboratories with 1 to 4 gene(s) on their targeted NGS panel should use 
CPT 81479 and one (1) UOS along with their test identifier (DEX Z-Code) to represent this service on their 
claims. Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 individual biomarker CPT codes should not be used for a single gene or any 
combination of genes when testing is performed as part of a NGS or other multiplexing technology panel. As 
CGP testing is not defined as a targeted panel by MolDX, and it is a test not currently satisfactorily described 
by any existing CPT code. Therefore, to report a CGP service, test providers should use CPT code 81479 at this 
time, in addition to the approved DEX Z-Code for the test. Coverage of CGP is limited to one test per surgical 
specimen and precludes the use of any other molecular testing on that specimen. For NGS-based tests that do 
not fit under the above definitions of targeted or Comprehensive panels, billing with the Not Otherwise 
Classified (NOC) code 81479 along with the approved DEX Z-Code identifier is appropriate. You can find 
this in the Local Coverage Article: Billing and Coding: MolDX: Targeted and Comprehensive Genomic Profile 
Next-Generation Sequencing Testing in Cancer (A55624), Local Coverage Article: Billing and Coding: 
MolDX: Guardant360 Plasma-Based Comprehensive Genomic Profiling in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The rules say that MACs subject all line items for the same beneficiary, same NPI, and same date of service to 
NCCI edits.  
 
All line items for the same beneficiary, same NPI, and same date of service shall be subject to NCCI 
procedure-to-procedure (PTP) edits. If the CCMI of a PTP edit is 0, the column two code is not eligible for 
payment even if an NCCI-associated modifier is appropriately appended to one of the codes. If the CCMI of a 
PTP edit is 1, the edit may be bypassed and the column two code of the edit may be eligible for payment if 
an NCCI-associated modifier is appropriately appended to one of the codes. If the two codes of a code pair edit 
have the same NCCI-associated anatomic modifiers, the edit should not be bypassed unless an additional 
NCCI-associated modifier is appended to one of the codes indicating the reason to bypass the edit.  
 
The use of modifiers that are not NCCI-associated modifiers shall not bypass an NCCI PTP edit. NCCI-
associated modifiers are the following: 
Anatomic modifiers: E1-E4, FA, F1-F9, TA, T1-T9, LT, RT, LC, LD, RC, LM, RI  
Global surgery modifiers: 24, 25, 57, 58, 78, 79 
Other modifiers: 27, 59, 91, XE, XS, XP, XU

The rules say that Medicare will not pay for dental services. Dental services are items and services involving 
the care, treatment, filling, removal or replacement of teeth or structures directly supporting the teeth. Medicare 
defines "structures directly supporting the teeth" as the periodontium, which includes the gingivae, 
dentogingival junction, periodontal membrane, cementum of the teeth, and alveolar process. You can find this 
rule in the SSA, Section 1862(a)(12) and Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 150.

disease, or services that would be covered when provided by a physician. You can find this information on

The rules say that plans must pay for a medical service or item if regular Medicare would pay for it in this case. You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101.

The rules say that a contract plan provider is an agent of the plan. Services and referrals obtained from a plan provider are viewed as plan-approved unless notice is given that the services will not be covered. When a plan provider gives, or refers an enrollee for, a service that the enrollee reasonably believes is covered by the plan, the enrollee is held harmless and need not pay more than the plan-allowed cost-sharing for that service. 

If a service is never covered by the plan and the plan's Evidence of Coverage (EOC) is clear that the service or item is never covered, the plan does not have to hold the enrollee harmless. 

For a service or item that is normally not covered, but could be covered under some conditions, the EOC alone is not adequate notice of non-coverage. If no notice of non-coverage is given, the enrollee is held harmless. You can find this rule in the Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 4, Section 160.

The rules state that comprehensive genomic profile (CGP) testing is not defined as a targeted panel by MolDX, 
and it is a test not currently satisfactorily described by any existing Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)

18, 2020, in addition to the addition DEX Z-Code for the test. You can find this rule in Local Coverage Article

therapy following the initiation of home monitoring; and, 
    4. Self-testing with the device should not occur more frequently than once a week.
