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 for claims with dates of service on or after July 1, 2017, through December 31, 2022, a non-
adjunctive CGM must be billed with code K0554. For claims with dates of service on or after January 1, 2023, 
a non-adjunctive CGM must be billed with code E2103. Code E2103 or K0554 describes a non-adjunctive 
CGM that meets the requirements of the durable medical equipment (DME) benefit. To be eligible for 
Medicare reimbursement, all CGM devices billed as E2103 must have received coding verification review by 
the Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding (PDAC) contractor and be listed on the Product Classification List 
(PCL) for HCPCS code E2103. 
 
The rules say that a Freestyle Libre 3 is not specified as a product that may be billed using code E2103. You 
can find this information in the Product Classification List (PCL) on the Pricing Data Analysis, and Coding 
(PDAC) contractor web site 
(https://www4.palmettogba.com/pdac_dmecs/searchProductClassificationResults.do?manufacturer=&codeDeci

The rules say that screening tests are excluded from coverage. The only exceptions are for the following 
services: 
 
1. screening mammography,  
2. colorectal cancer screening tests, 
3. screening pelvic exams,  
4. prostate cancer screening tests,  
5. glaucoma screening exams,  
6. ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA),  
7. cardiovascular disease screening tests,  
8. diabetes screening tests, and 
9. screening electrocardiograms, and 
10. certain other testing recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force and approved by 
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service. 
 
You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 411.15(a)(1) and 42 CFR Section 410.64. 
 
The rules state that only the following codes should be billed for Cardiovascular Disease Screening: code 
80061 (Lipid panel) which includes codes: 82465 (Cholesterol, serum or whole blood, total), 83718 
(Lipoprotein, direct measurement; high density cholesterol), and/or 84478 (Triglycerides). This rule is found in 
the Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 18 - Preventive and Screening Services, Section 100.1. 
 
The rules also state that coverage is denied for all cardiovascular risk assessment panels, except the basic lipid 
panel, for symptomatic (with signs and symptoms) patients with suspected or documented cardiovascular 
disease because panel testing is not specific to a given patients lipid abnormality or disease. You can find this 
information in Local Coverage Determination (LCD): Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

or overall function of the enrollee. The Plan must have written policies for determining enrollee eligibility and

The rules say that Medicare pays for medically necessary ambulance transport services. Medicare makes 
separate payment for paramedic intercept services only when they are furnished: 
 
1. in a rural area, 
2. by a provider that is under a contract with 1 or more volunteer ambulance services. You can find this rule at 
42 CFR Section 410.40(d). 
 
The rules say that for the purposes of Paramedic Intercept coverage, an area is a rural area if: 
 It is designated as a rural area by any law or regulation of a State; 
 It is located outside of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or New England County Metropolitan 
Area (NECMA); or 
 It is located in a rural census tract of an MSA as determined under the most recent Goldsmith 
modification. 
 
Presently, only the State of New York meets these requirements. You can find this information in the Centers

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 the clinical record must clearly show the use of or intent to prescribe a drug that has known 
drug-gene interactions that require a PGx test to be ordered to define the safe use of that drug in that patient. 
 
If a treating clinician orders a single gene test or a test for a particular allele(s), but as a matter of operational 
practicality, the laboratory tests that single gene or allele on a platform that looks for variants in other 
genes/alleles as well, that particular test done in that particular instance is considered a single gene/ allele test 
for coverage purposes. In this scenario the provider may bill for the component of the test that was reasonable 
and necessary (in this example, the single gene test). 
 
A multi-gene panel is considered reasonable and necessary if more than one single gene on that panel would be 
considered reasonable and necessary for safe use of the medication in question or if multiple drugs are being 
considered (each fulfilling the criteria of actionable gene-drug interactions identified above) that have different 
relevant genes. Additionally, a gene panel must contain at a minimum all the necessary relevant gene/allele 
content required for their indicated use to meet clinical utility requirements. Such minimum criteria are 
determined by experts including relevant associations such as the Association for Molecular Pathology and are 
considered during the technical assessment. A multi-gene panel is not considered reasonable and necessary if 
only a single gene on the panel is considered reasonable and necessary. 
 
If two or more single genes are tested, rather than a multi-gene panel, then the record must reflect that a 
clinician individually ordered each gene, and each single gene must individually be reasonable and necessary at 
the time they are ordered. 
 
The ordering provider of a PGx test is restricted to providers who have the licensure, qualifications, and 
necessary experience / training to both diagnose the condition being treated and also to prescribe medications 
(the provider must be able to do both) for the condition either independently or in an arrangement as required 
by all the applicable state laws.

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say a health plan must disclose to its enrollees in clear, accurate terms all cost sharing information 
(such as copayments, deductibles and coinsurance). You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.111(a) and 
(b). 
 
The rules say that a copayment is a fixed amount charged to an enrollee on a per-service basis. The rules say 
that coinsurance is a fixed percentage of the total amount paid for a health care service that can be charged to 
an enrollee on a per-service basis. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.2.
