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 pays for home health care services under a prospective payment system (HH PPS). 
Home health services under a plan of care are paid based on a 60-day episode of care. Payment for home health 
care episodes is usually made in two parts. To receive the first part of the HH PPS split payment, the home 
health agency must submit a Request for Anticipated Payment (RAP). Specific data elements are required to 
submit a RAP. The home health agency must enter the claim - Outcome and Assessment Information Set 
(OASIS) matching key output by the Grouper software. This is known as the Treatment Authorization Code. 
You can find this rule, a list of the data elements, and instructions for the Treatment Authorization Code in the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 40.1. 
 
The rules say that after a RAP has been paid and a 60-day episode has been completed or the enrollee has been 
discharged, the home health agency must submit a claim to receive the rest of payment due for the episode. 
You can find this rule and detailed instructions for the claim in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 
40.2. 
 
The rules also say that certain data elements are required. Any claim with incomplete, missing, or invalid 
information for all of these elements may be returned as unprocessable. You can find this rule in the Centers 
for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing 
Manual, Chapter 1, Section 80.3.1.

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, Publication 100-16, Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 1, Section 20.2. The rules state that a review of the available evidence found five combinatorial pharmacogenomics (PGx) tests for which outcome data has been published. These studies focus on testing for drug selection for psychiatric and neurological use and include the Genesight Psychotropic assay. A review of the published clinical studies performed demonstrated that, despite showing some promising findings, these studies had several shortcomings in that they failed to meet their primary endpoints, were not representative of the Medicare population, or had other significant shortcomings such as a possible biased sample population. While there are some large PGx studies, the Medicare contractor is not aware of large high-quality studies that used a clear evidence-based prescribing approach in the control arm. As a number of prominent psychiatrists with expertise in the biological underpinnings of mental health have pointed out, it is not clear that PGx testing is a better tool for drug selection than using a standardized evidence-based protocol which does not rely on genetics, or a consultation from a knowledgeable provider. In summary, the present evidence does not clearly demonstrate that routine PGx testing for the purpose of medication selection offers a benefit over selection of medications based on contemporary evidence-based medication selection protocols. You can find this information in the Local Coverage Determination (LCD): MolDX: Pharmacogenomics Testing (L38394).

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say payment for inpatient hospital services in made of the basis of a DRG (diagnosis related group). 
Hospitals must provide proper information about the patient (i.e., age, sex, discharge status, principal and 
secondary diagnoses, and procedures) in order for the correct DRG to be assigned. You can find this rule in the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual, Chapter 3, Section 20.2.1. 
 
The rule say that the circumstances of inpatient admission always govern the selection of principal diagnosis. 
The principal diagnosis is defined in the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) as "that condition 
established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission of the patient to the hospital for 
care." For reporting purposes the definition for "other diagnoses" is interpreted as additional conditions that 
affect patient care in terms of requiring: clinical evaluation; or therapeutic treatment; or diagnostic procedures; 
or extended length of hospital stay; or increased nursing care and/or monitoring. The UHDDS item #11-b 
defines Other Diagnoses as "all conditions that coexist at the time of admission, that develop subsequently, or 
that affect the treatment received and/or the length of stay. Diagnoses that relate to an earlier episode which 
have no bearing on the current hospital stay are to be excluded." You can find this information in the 
International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) Official Guidelines 
for Coding and Reporting, Sections II and III.
