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 all claims for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetic, and Orthotic Supplies (DMEPOS) require a written order/prescription from the treating practitioner. The supplier must keep the order and proof of delivery documentation on file. All services that do not have appropriate proof of delivery will be denied. The supplier should also obtain as much documentation from the patient's medical record as they determine they need to assure themselves that coverage criteria for an item have been met. If the information in the patient's medical record does not adequately support the medical necessity for the item, the supplier is liable for the dollar amount involved unless a properly executed Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) of possible denial has been obtained. You can find this rule in the Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 5, Sections 5.2.1, 5.9 and 5.10. The rules also say that if a supplier utilizes a shipping service or mail order, suppliers have two options for the (date of service) DOS to use on the claim: 1. Suppliers may use the shipping date as the DOS. The shipping date is defined as the date the delivery/shipping service label is created or the date the item is retrieved by the shipping service for delivery. However, such dates should not demonstrate significant variation. 2. Suppliers may use the date of delivery as the DOS on the claim. You can find this information in the Local Coverage Article: Standard Documentation Requirements for All Claims Submitted to DME MACs (A55426).
