If the information in the patient's medical record does not adequately support the medical necessity for the item, the supplier is liable for the dollar amount involved unless a properly executed Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) of possible denial has been obtained. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 5, Sections 5.2.1, 5.9 and 5.10.

The rules state that the correct coding edit table contains edits which are pairs of HCPCS/CPT codes that in general should not be reported together. Each edit has a column one and column two HCPCS/CPT code. If a provider reports the two codes of an edit pair, the column two code is denied, and the column one code is eligible for payment. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter 1. 

The rules state that if an independent lab bills for services, the place where the sample was taken is reported as the Place of Service (POS).

The rules say that for all services (with two (2) exceptions), the POS code to be used by the physician or other supplier will be assigned as the same setting in which the beneficiary received the face-to-face service. The two exceptions are for enrollees who are registered hospital inpatients or outpatients, in which case, the inpatient or outpatient hospital POS code would be reported regardless of where the face-to-face service takes place. You can find this information in the MLN Matters article number MM7631, "Revised and Clarified Place of Service (POS) Coding Instructions." 

The rules state that if one laboratory procedure evaluates multiple genes using a next generation sequencing procedure, the laboratory shall report only one unit of service of one genomic sequencing procedure, molecular multianalyte assay, multianalyte assay with algorithmic analysis, or proprietary laboratory analysis CPT code. If no CPT code accurately describes the procedure performed, the laboratory may report CPT code 81479 (Unlisted molecular pathology procedure) with one unit of service or may report multiple individual CPT codes describing the component test results when medically reasonable and necessary. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter 10 (F8).
