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 state that effective for items and services furnished on or after July 9, 2007, Medicare covers the
routine costs of qualifying clinical trials, as such costs are defined below, as well as reasonable and necessary
items and services used to diagnose and treat complications arising from participation in all clinical trials. All
other Medicare rules apply.
Routine costs of a clinical trial include all items and services that are otherwise generally available to Medicare
beneficiaries (i.e., there exists a benefit category, it is not statutorily excluded, and there is not a national noncoverage
decision) that are provided in either the experimental or the control arms of a clinical trial except:
The investigational item or service, itself unless otherwise covered outside of the clinical trial;
Items and services provided solely to satisfy data collection and analysis needs and that are not used in the
direct clinical management of the patient (e.g., monthly CT scans for a condition usually requiring only a single
scan); and
Items and services customarily provided by the research sponsors free-of-charge for any enrollee in the trial.
Routine costs in clinical trials include:
Items or services that are typically provided absent a clinical trial (e.g., conventional care);
Items or services required solely for the provision of the investigational item or service (e.g., administration
of a noncovered chemotherapeutic agent), the clinically appropriate monitoring of the effects of the item or
service, or the prevention of complications; and
Items or services needed for reasonable and necessary care arising from the provision of an investigational
item or service in particular, for the diagnosis or treatment of complications.
You can find these rules in the Medicare National Coverage Determination (NCD) Routine Costs in Clinical
Trials, Section 310.1.

The rules say that coverage of services incident to the professional services of a physician or non-physician practitioner (NPP) is limited to situations in which there is direct supervision of auxiliary personnel. Direct supervision in the office setting means the physician must be present in the office suite and immediately available and able to provide assistance and direction throughout the time the service is performed. You can find this information in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 60. The rules state that the services of Physical Therapy Assistants (PTAs) used when providing covered therapy benefits are included as part of the covered service.

The rules say that the Correct Coding Initiative was developed to promote correct coding and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment in Part B claims. An add-on code is eligible for payment only if it is reported with an appropriate primary procedure performed by the same practitioner. An add-on code is not eligible for payment if it is the only procedure reported by a practitioner. The only exception is as follows: For the same date of service only one physician of the same specialty in the group practice may report code 99291 (primary) with or without code 99292 (add-on), and the other physician(s) must report their critical care services with CPT code 99292. The Coding Policy Manual also explains what is referred to as Column One/Column Two Correct Coding and Mutually Exclusive Edits. These are code pairs that should not be reported together. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 23, Section 20.9.
