Readmission review involves admissions to an acute, general, short-term hospital occurring less than 31 calendar days from the date of discharge from the same or another acute, general, short-term hospital.

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 state that Medicare pays for ambulance transport only when it is medically necessary. Ambulance services are medically necessary when an enrollee's condition is such that the use of any other method of transport would be contraindicated. Medical reasonableness of air ambulance is only established when the enrollee's condition is such that the time needed to transport by ground, or the instability of transportation by ground, poses a threat to his survival or seriously endangers his health. If air ambulance services were ordered, but ground ambulance transport would have sufficed, payment for the transport is based on the amount payable for ground ambulance transport. You can find these rules at 42 CFR 410.40 and at Medicare Benefit Policy Manual Ch. 10 10.4.2 and 10.4.6.

The rules state that the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) is a federal provider of services that is obligated by law to render services to veterans at public expense. The CMS has clarified that an MA organization is an entity that "stands in the shoes" of Medicare, and is considered a federal provider of services for purposes of this general rule. This means that an MA organization may not use Medicare funds to pay the VA Healthcare System for VA-covered services rendered to veterans who are also MA organization enrollees. This rule prevails for both elective services and the emergency services rendered by the VA to veteran MA enrollees.
