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 a contract plan provider is an agent of the plan. Services and referrals obtained from a plan 
provider are viewed as plan-approved unless notice is given that the services will not be covered. When a plan 
provider gives, or refers an enrollee for, a service that the enrollee reasonably believes is covered by the plan, 
the enrollee is held harmless and need not pay more than the plan-allowed cost-sharing for that service.  
 
If a service is never covered by the plan and the plan's Evidence of Coverage (EOC) is clear that the service or 
item is never covered, the plan does not have to hold the enrollee harmless.  
 
For a service or item that is normally not covered, but could be covered under some conditions, the EOC alone 
is not adequate notice of non-coverage. If no notice of non-coverage is given, the enrollee is held harmless. 
You can find this rule in the Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 4, Section 160.

The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. The contract 
says that up to two crowns are covered every calendar year, once every 5 years per tooth. You can find this 
information on page 12 of the Plan?s 2020 Dental contract.

The rules say that ambulance services are only covered when the patient's clinical condition is such that other 
methods of transport are contraindicated. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 410.40(e).

The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. Non-
emergency transportation by ambulance is appropriate if it is documented that the member?s condition is such 
that other means of transportation could endanger the person?s health and that transportation by ambulance is 
medically required. Prior authorization is required. You can see this on page 67 of the 2020 Evidence of 
Coverage.

The rules say to bill for targeted NGS gene panel services for somatic variant detection, review CPT codes 
81445 and 81450. The units of service (UOS) for an NGS gene panel is one (UOS=1). Providers must also 
provide the approved DEX Z-Code identifier for the test. Effective July 1, 2017, laboratories with 1 to 4 
gene(s) on their targeted NGS panel should use CPT 81479 and one (1) UOS along with their test identifier 
(DEX Z-Code) to represent this service on their claims. Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 individual biomarker CPT codes 
should not be used for a single gene or any combination of genes when testing is performed as part of a NGS or 
other multiplexing technology panel. As CGP testing is not defined as a targeted panel by MolDX, and it is a 
test not currently satisfactorily described by any existing CPT code. Therefore, to report a CGP service, test 
providers should use CPT code 81479 at this time, in addition to the approved DEX Z-Code for the test. 
Coverage of CGP is limited to one test per surgical specimen and precludes the use of any other molecular 
testing on that specimen. For NGS-based tests that do not fit under the above definitions of targeted or 
Comprehensive panels, billing with the Not Otherwise Classified (NOC) code 81479 along with the 
approved DEX Z-Code identifier is appropriate. You can find this in the Local Coverage Article: Billing and 
Coding: MolDX: Targeted and Comprehensive Genomic Profile Next-Generation Sequencing Testing in 
Cancer (A55624).

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 Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. The Plan 
contract says that, with limited exceptions, members of the Plan must use network providers to get medical care 
and services. The only exceptions are emergencies, urgently needed care when the network is not available 
(generally, when the enrollee is out of the area), out-of-area dialysis services, and cases in which the Plan 
authorizes the use of out-of-network providers. You can find this information starting on page 8 of the 2019 
Evidence of Coverage.

The rules say that physicians in the same group practice who are in the same specialty must bill and be paid as 
though they were a single physician. If more than one evaluation and management (face-to-face) service is 
provided on the same day to the same patient by the same physician or more than one physician in the same 
specialty in the same group, only one evaluation and management service may be reported unless the 
evaluation and management services are for unrelated problems. Instead of billing separately, the physicians 
should select a level of service representative of the combined visits and submit the appropriate code for that 
level. You can find this rule in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12, Section 30.6.5.

The rules say that Medicare will not pay for dental services. Dental services are items and services involving 
the care, treatment, filling, removal or replacement of teeth or structures directly supporting the teeth. Medicare 
defines "structures directly supporting the teeth" as the periodontium, which includes the gingivae, 
dentogingival junction, periodontal membrane, cementum of the teeth, and alveolar process. You can find this 
rule in the SSA, Section 1862(a)(12) and Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 150.

The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. The contract 
says that the Plan covers certain dental services as a supplemental (extra) benefit. The contract also includes a 
list of the covered supplemental dental benefits. The endodontic therapy (D3330) and after-hours office visit 
(D9440) are not on this list and are not covered supplemental benefits. You can find this information on pages 
4-73 to 4-81 of the Plan?s 2020 Evidence of Coverage (EOC).

The rules say that to qualify for portable oxygen, the patient must meet the criteria for home oxygen. The 
documentation must show that the patient is mobile in the home and would benefit from the use of portable 
oxygen in the home. Portable oxygen is not covered for patients who qualify for oxygen solely based on blood 
gas studies obtained during sleep. You can find this rule in the Medicare National Coverage Determinations 
Manual, Section 240.2(E).  
 
To qualify for home oxygen, the patient must meet one of the following blood gas levels: 
 
1. Arterial PO2 at or below 55 mm Hg or arterial O2 saturation at or below 88% on room air, at rest; 
 
2. Arterial PO2 at or below 55 mm Hg or arterial O2 saturation at or below 88% on room air, taken during 
sleep for a patient who have hypoxia symptoms during sleep;  
 
3. Arterial PO2 at or below 55 mm Hg or arterial O2 saturation at or below 88%, taken during exercise for 
patients who have hypoxia symptoms during exercise; 
 
4. Arterial PO2 between 56 and 59 mmHg and arterial O2 saturation is 89% on room air if there is evidence of 
dependent edema, pulmonary hypertension, or erythrocythemia. 
 
For patients with arterial PO2 at or above 60 mm Hg or arterial O2 saturation at or above 90% on room air, 
there is a rebuttable presumption of non-coverage. You can find this rule in the Medicare National Coverage 
Determinations Manual, Section 240.2(D)(3). 
 
Additionally, only rented oxygen equipment is eligible for coverage. This rule can be found in Local Coverage 
Article for Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment (A52514).
