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 providers/suppliers must report services correctly. Procedures should be reported with the 
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in 
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual 
for Medicare Services, Chapter I(A). 
 
The rules say that Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs) for HCPCS codes with an MAI of 3 are per day edits 
based on clinical benchmarks. MUEs assigned an MAI of 3 are based on criteria (e.g., nature of service, 
prescribing information) combined with data such that it would be possible but medically highly unlikely that 
higher values would represent correctly reported medically necessary services. If contractors have evidence 
(e.g., medical review) that UOS in excess of the MUE value were actually provided, were correctly coded and 
were medically necessary, the contractor may bypass the MUE for a HCPCS code with an MAI of 3 during 
claim processing, reopening, or redetermination, or in response to effectuation instructions from a 
reconsideration or higher-level appeal. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter I(V).

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.

The rules say that the Physician Fee Schedule Status Indicator B means that payment for covered services is 
always bundled into payment for other services not specified. There will be no payment amounts for these 
codes and no separate payment is ever made. When these services are covered, payment for them is subsumed 
by the payment for the services to which they are incident. You can find this information in the Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing 
Manual, Chapter 23, 30.2.2. 
 
The rules say that molecular diagnostic laboratory tests must undergo an application and technical assessment 
process through the Molecular Diagnostics (MolDX) contractor. MolDX will review all new test/assay clinical 
information to determine if a test meets Medicare's reasonable and necessary requirement. Labs must submit a 
comprehensive dossier on each new test/assay prior to claim submission. MolDX will only cover and 
reimburse tests that demonstrate analytical and clinical validity, and clinical utility at a level that meets the 
Medicare reasonable and necessary requirement. This rule requires that all tests that are approved by this 
process be assigned a unique test identifier from the DEXTM Diagnostics Exchange. Only approved tests will be reimbursed consistent with the effective date of the coverage determination. This unique identifier must be 
reported on the claim. You can find this rule in the Local Coverage Determination (LCD): MolDX: Molecular 
Diagnostic Tests (MDT) L35025 and the related Local Coverage Article: Billing and Coding: MolDX: 
Molecular Diagnostic Tests (MDT) A56853.

dentogingival junction, periodontal membrane, cementum of the teeth, and alveolar process. You can find this
