The rules say effective for services performed on or after January 09, 2014, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) has determined that PILD will be covered by Medicare when provided in a clinical
study under section 1862(a)(1)(E) through Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) for beneficiaries with
LSS who are enrolled in an approved clinical study. You can find this rule in the National Coverage
Determination Manual Chapter 1 ?150.13.
The rules say that Original Medicare pays for the routine costs of qualifying clinical trials. Medicare also pays
for reasonable and necessary items and services used to diagnose and treat complications arising from
participation in all clinical trials. The rules also say that Medicare plans must cover these services even if they
are not available through in-network providers. Medicare plans may require reporting when enrollees
participate in clinical trials but cannot require prior authorization or approval. You can find these rules in the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Medicare National Coverage
Determinations Manual, Chapter 1, Section 310.1.

The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. The Plan
contract also says that a clinical research study or clinical trial is a way that doctors and scientists test new
types of medical care. They test new medical care procedures or drugs by asking for volunteers to help with the
study. This kind of study is one of the final stages of a research process that helps doctors and scientists see if a
new approach works and if it is safe.
An enrollee who is in a clinical research study may stay enrolled in the Plan and continue to get the care that is
not related to the study through the Plan. Enrollees must tell the plan before they start participating in a clinical
research study.
If an enrollee participates in a Medicare-approved study, Original Medicare pays most of the costs for the
covered services received as part of the study. After Medicare has paid its share of the cost for these services,
the Plan will also pay for part of the costs. The Plan will pay the difference between the cost-sharing in
Original Medicare and the cost-sharing as a member of the Plan. This means the enrollee will pay the same
amount for the services received as part of the study as he or she would if these services were received from the
Plan. You can find this information on pages on pages 50-51 of the Plan's 2021 Evidence of Coverage.
