defines "structures directly supporting the teeth" as the periodontium, which includes the gingivae,
dentogingival junction, periodontal membrane, cementum of the teeth, and alveolar process. You can find this
rule in the Social Security Act, Section 1862(a)(12) and in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-02, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 150.

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that CONTINUED COVERAGE: 
 
C. For wounds and ulcers described under A or B above, once placed on a NPWT pump and supplies, in order 
for coverage to continue, a licensed medical professional must do the following: 
 
1. On a regular basis, 
 
Directly assess the wound(s) being treated with the NPWT pump, and 
Supervise or directly perform the NPWT dressing changes, and 
 
2. On at least a monthly basis, document changes in the ulcer's dimensions and characteristics. 
If criteria C-1 and C-2 are not fulfilled, continued coverage of the NPWT pump and supplies will be denied as 
not reasonable and necessary. 
 
WHEN COVERAGE ENDS: 
 
D. For wounds and ulcers described under A or B above, a NPWT pump and supplies will be denied as not 
reasonable and necessary with any of the following, whichever occurs earliest: 
1. Criteria C1-C2 cease to occur, 
 
2. In the judgment of the treating practitioner, adequate wound healing has occurred to the degree that NPWT 
may be discontinued,  

3. Any measurable degree of wound healing has failed to occur over the prior month. Wound healing is defined 
as improvement occurring in either surface area (length times width) or depth of the wound 
 
4. 4 months (including the time NPWT was applied in an inpatient setting prior to discharge to the home) have 
elapsed using a NPWT pump in the treatment of the most recent wound 
 
5. Once equipment or supplies are no longer being used for the beneficiary, whether or not by the treating 
practitioner's order

The rules say that the provider, supplier, or beneficiary, as appropriate, must furnish to the intermediary or
carrier sufficient information to determine whether payment is due and the amount of payment. You can find
this rule at 42 CFR 424.5.

The rules say for Medicare to consider coverage and payment for any item or service, the information
submitted by the supplier or provider must corroborate the documentation in the beneficiary's medical
documentation and confirm that Medicare coverage criteria have been met. You can see this in the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity
Manual, Chapter 3, Section 3.3.2.1.

The rules say that to qualify as a Level 3 ambulator, the enrollee must have the ability or potential for
ambulation with variable cadence. Typical of the community ambulator who has the ability to traverse most
environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demands prosthetic
utilization beyond simple locomotion. A microprocessor-controlled ankle foot system (L5973), energy storing
foot (L5976), dynamic response foot with multi-axial ankle (L5979), flex foot system (L5980), flex-walk

The rules state that if an independent lab bills for services, the place where the sample was taken is reported as 
the Place of Service (POS). An independent laboratory taking a sample in its laboratory shows "81" as place of 
service. You can find this information in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only 
Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 26, Section 10.6. 
 
The rules say that if one laboratory procedure evaluates multiple genes using a next generation sequencing 
procedure, the laboratory shall report only one unit of service of one genomic sequencing procedure, molecular 
multianalyte assay, multianalyte assay with algorithmic analysis, or proprietary laboratory analysis CPT code. 
If no CPT code accurately describes the procedure performed, the laboratory may report CPT code 81479 
(Unlisted molecular pathology procedure) with one unit of service or may report multiple individual CPT codes 
describing the component test results when medically reasonable and necessary. Procedures reported together 
must be both medically reasonable and necessary (e.g., sequencing of procedures) and ordered by the physician 
who is treating the beneficiary and using the results in the management of the beneficiary's specific medical 
problem. You can find this information in Chapter X: Pathology/Laboratory Services (CPT codes 80000-
89999) for National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services. 
 
The rules say that for all services (with two (2) exceptions), the POS code to be used by the physician or other 
supplier will be assigned as the same setting in which the beneficiary received the face-to-face service. The two 
exceptions are for enrollees who are registered hospital inpatients or outpatients, in which case, the inpatient or 
outpatient hospital POS code would be reported regardless of where the face-to-face service takes place. You 
can find this information in the MLN Matters article number MM7631, "Revised and Clarified Place of Service 
(POS) Coding Instructions".

suppliers who are eligible to apply for enrollment in the Medicare program with the appropriate Healthcare
Provider Taxonomy Codes. Claim eligibility will be based on the submission of the appropriate codes. You can
find this in the Data.CMS.Gov Crosswalk Medicare Provider/Supplier to Healthcare Provider Taxonomy.
