Coverage of CGP is limited to one test per surgical specimen and precludes the use of any other molecular testing on that specimen.

The rules say payment for inpatient hospital services in made of the basis of a DRG (diagnosis related group).
Hospitals must provide proper information about the patient (i.e., age, sex, discharge status, principal and
secondary diagnoses, and procedures) in order for the correct DRG to be assigned. You can find this rule in the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Medicare Claims Processing Manual,

The rule say that the circumstances of inpatient admission always govern the selection of principal diagnosis.
The principal diagnosis is defined in the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) as "that condition
established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission of the patient to the hospital for
care." For reporting purposes, the definition for "other diagnoses" is interpreted as additional conditions that
affect patient care in terms of requiring: clinical evaluation; or therapeutic treatment; or diagnostic procedures;
or extended length of hospital stay; or increased nursing care and/or monitoring. The UHDDS item #11-b
defines Other Diagnoses as "all conditions that coexist at the time of admission, that develop subsequently, or
that affect the treatment received and/or the length of stay. Diagnoses that relate to an earlier episode which
have no bearing on the current hospital stay are to be excluded." You can find this information in the
International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) Official Guidelines
for Coding and Reporting, Sections II and III.
