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 may choose the networks of providers available to enrollees and may require enrollees to obtain authorization before receiving services. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112(a) and in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 1, Section 20.2.
The rules say that for coverage of a semi-electric hospital bed, the patient's medical records must establish medical necessity for a hospital bed due to one of the following reasons: 1. The patient's condition requires positioning of the body, e.g., to alleviate pain, promote good body alignment, prevent contractures, avoid respiratory infections, in ways not feasible in an ordinary bed; or 2. The patient's condition requires special attachments that cannot be fixed and used on an ordinary bed. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, National Coverage Determinations Manual, Section 280.7(A). In order to qualify for a semi-electric hospital bed, the patient's condition must require frequent change in body position and/or there may be an immediate need for a change in body position (i.e., no delay can be tolerated) and the patient can operate the controls and cause the adjustments. Exceptions may be made to this last requirement in cases of spinal cord injury and brain damaged patients. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Section 280.7(D).

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 Medicare may cover a drug or biological if it is safe and effective and otherwise reasonable and necessary. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 50.4.1. Medicare rules also allow the plan to use step therapy. This is the process of beginning drug therapy for a medical condition with "preferred" (or more cost-effective) on-formulary drug alternative(s) and progressing to other drug therapies only as necessary. A plan must grant an exception to its step therapy rules if it determines that the requested drug is medically necessary, consistent with the prescriber's statement. The statement must show that the step therapy drugs: have been ineffective in treating the enrollee; or are likely to be ineffective or adversely affect the drug's effectiveness or patient compliance; or are likely to cause an adverse reaction or other harm to the enrollee. Medicare Advantage plans should ensure that new step therapy requirements do not disrupt ongoing Part B drug therapies for enrollees. Step therapy may only be applied to new prescriptions or administrations of Part B drugs for enrollees that are not actively receiving the affected medication. You can find this information at 42 CFR Section 423.578(b)(5)(ii).
