Medicare rules say that the provider, supplier, or beneficiary, as appropriate, must furnish to the health plan 
sufficient information to determine whether payment is due and the amount of payment. You can find this rule 
at 42 CFR 424.5.  
 
The rules say for Medicare to consider coverage and payment for any item or service, the information 
submitted by the supplier or provider must corroborate the documentation in the beneficiary's medical 
documentation and confirm that Medicare coverage criteria have been met. You can see this in the Medicare 
Program Integrity Manual Chapter 3  3.3.2.1.  
 
The rules say Technical Component Only Codes identify stand-alone codes that describe the technical 
component (i.e., staff and equipment costs) of selected diagnostic tests for which there is an associated code 
that describes the professional component of the diagnostic test only. An example of a technical component 
only code is CPT code 99153-MOD SED SAME PHYS/QHP EA. It also identifies codes that are covered only 
as diagnostic tests and therefore do not have a related professional code. Modifiers 26 and TC cannot be used 
with these codes. The total RVUs for technical component only codes include values for practice expense and 
malpractice expense only. You can find this rule in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 23.

dentogingival junction, periodontal membrane, cementum of the teeth, and alveolar process. You can find this
