Citation(s): Social Security Act, Section 1862(a)1(A). Summary of Citation(s): CMS has not issued specific coverage criteria in the form of an LCD (Local Coverage Determination) or NCD (National Coverage Determination) for this particular item or service. However, per Social Security Act, Section 1862 (a)1(A) and the 42 CFR 411.15(k), Medicare does not pay for any items or services that are not reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member. The determination of medical necessity must be tailored to the individual patient and their unique clinical scenario. CMS considers services to be medically reasonable and necessary if they are: - Safe and effective; - Not mainly for the convenience of the patient or the physician; - Not experimental or investigational; and - Appropriate, including the duration and frequency that is considered appropriate for the service, in terms of whether it is: - Furnished in accordance with accepted standards of medical practice for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient's condition or to improve the function of a malformed body member; - Furnished in a setting appropriate to the patient's medical needs and condition; - Ordered and furnished by qualified personnel; - One that meets, but does not exceed, the patient's medical need; and - At least as beneficial as an existing and available medically appropriate alternative.
