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.

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 plans can restrict members to using contract providers except for emergency care (including 
ambulance services), out-of-area urgently needed care, post-stabilization care, and pre-approved care. You can 
find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112(a)(9). 
 
The rules say that a Medicare plan must pay for emergency care regardless of whether the care is provided by a 
contract provider or a non-contract provider. Emergency care ends when the patient is stabilized.  
 
Post-stabilization care is care that is administered to maintain, improve, or resolve the enrollee's stabilized 
condition. Plans must provide or pay for necessary post-stabilization care. When post-stabilization care is 
obtained from a non-contract provider, approval is required from the plan. However, the requirement for pre-
approval does not apply if: 
 
1. The Plan does not respond to a request for pre-approval within one hour, 
 
2. The Plan cannot be contacted, or 
 
3. The Plan representative and the treating physician cannot reach an agreement concerning the enrollee's care 
and a plan physician is not available for consultation.
