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 medically necessary services are those that are reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury. Medically necessary services include services to improve the functioning of a malformed body member. You can find this rule in the Social Security Act, Section 1862(a)(1)(A). The rules say that an inpatient admission is generally appropriate when the admitting physician expects the patient to need hospital care that crosses at least two midnights. The expectation should be based on such complex medical factors as medical history, the severity of signs and symptoms, current medical needs, and medical risk. The factors must be documented in the medical record. If an unforeseen event, such as a patient's death or transfer, results in a shorter stay, the patient may be considered to be treated as an inpatient. An inpatient admission for a surgical procedure listed by Medicare as "inpatient only" is generally appropriate, regardless of the length of stay. An inpatient admission may be appropriate if the admitting physician expects a patient to require hospital care for only a limited period of time. The decision to admit as an inpatient must be based on the clinical judgment of the physician and must be supported by the medical record. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 412.3.

The rules say that Medicare will pay for durable medical equipment (DME) that is reasonable and necessary for treatment of an illness or injury, or to improve the functioning of a malformed body part. Medicare considers equipment to be reasonable and necessary if the equipment does not serve the same purpose as other equipment already available to an enrollee. You can find these rules in the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 110.1(C). The rules state that replacement refers to the provision of an identical or nearly identical item. Equipment which the beneficiary owns or is a capped rental item may be replaced in cases of loss or irreparable damage. Irreparable wear refers to deterioration sustained from day-to-day usage over time and a specific event cannot be identified. Replacement of equipment due to irreparable wear takes into consideration the reasonable useful lifetime of the equipment, which may be no less than five years. Replacement due to wear is not covered during the reasonable useful lifetime of the equipment. During the reasonable useful lifetime, Medicare does cover repair up to the cost of replacement (but not actual replacement) for medically necessary equipment owned by the beneficiary. You can find this information in the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 110.2.

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.
