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 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter I(A). For purposes of payment under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS), the Place of Service (POS) code is generally used to reflect the actual setting where the beneficiary receives the face-to-face service. There are two exceptions to this general rule - these are for a service rendered to a patient who is a registered inpatient or an outpatient of a hospital. In these cases, the correct POS code -- regardless of where the face-to-face service occurs -- is that of the appropriate inpatient POS code (at a minimum POS code 21) or that of the appropriate outpatient hospital POS code (at a minimum POS code 19 or 22, for outpatient services performed off campus or on campus) as discussed in section 10.5 of this chapter. You can find this information in Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 26 - Completing and Processing Form CMS-1500 Data Set 10.6 - A/B Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) (B) Instructions for Place of Service (POS) Codes. As a covered entity, Medicare must use the Place of Service (POS) codes from the National POS code set for processing its electronically submitted claims. Medicare must also recognize as valid POS codes from the POS code set when these codes appear on such a claim. You can find this information in Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 26 - Completing and Processing
Form CMS-1500 Data Set, 10.5 - Place of Service Codes (POS) and Definitions.
