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 patients medical record as they determine they 
need to assure themselves that coverage criteria for an item have been met. If the information in the patients 
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 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only 
Manual, Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 5, Sections 5.2.1, 5.9 and 5.10.

we will pay for our share of the cost. If you have already paid for the service or drug, we will mail your 
reimbursement of our share of the cost to you. If you have not paid for the service or drug yet, we will mail the 
payment directly to the provider. 
 
If we decide that the medical care or drug is not covered, or you did not follow all the rules, we will not pay for

payment you have requested and your rights to appeal that decision.

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 plans can restrict members to using contract providers except for emergency care (including 
ambulance services), out-of-area urgently needed care, post-stabilization care, and pre-approved care. You can 
find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112(a)(9). 
 
The rules say that a Medicare plan must pay for emergency care regardless of whether the care is provided by a 
contract provider or a non-contract provider. Emergency care ends when the patient is stabilized.  
 
Post-stabilization care is care that is administered to maintain, improve, or resolve the enrollee's stabilized 
condition. Plans must provide or pay for necessary post-stabilization care. When post-stabilization care is 
obtained from a non-contract provider, approval is required from the plan. However, the requirement for pre-
approval does not apply if: 
 
1. The Plan does not respond to a request for pre-approval within one hour, 
 
2. The Plan cannot be contacted, or 
 
3. The Plan representative and the treating physician cannot reach an agreement concerning the enrollee's care 
and a plan physician is not available for consultation. 
You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.113(c).

The rules say that the reasonable useful lifetime for oxygen equipment is 5 years. The RUL is not based on the 
chronological age of the equipment. It starts on the initial date of service and runs for 5 years from that date. 
When the end date of the RUL of the stationary oxygen equipment occurs, the beneficiary may elect to obtain 
replacement of both the stationary and the portable oxygen equipment. If the beneficiary elects not to receive 
new equipment after the end of the 5-year reasonable useful lifetime and if the supplier retains title to the 
equipment, all elements of the payment policy for months 37-60 remain in effect. There is no separate payment 
for accessories or repairs. If the beneficiary was using gaseous or liquid oxygen equipment during the 36th 
rental month, payment can continue to be made for oxygen contents. You can find this rule in the Local 
Coverage Article for Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment, A52514.
