contract says that, with limited exceptions, members of the Plan must use network providers to get medical care 
and services. The only exceptions are emergencies, urgently needed care when the network is not available 
(generally, when the enrollee is out of the area), out-of-area dialysis services, and cases in which the Plan 
authorizes the use of out-of-network providers. You can find this information on page 43 of the Plan's 2023

The rules say that providers/suppliers must report services correctly. Procedures should be reported with the

The rules say that suppliers must add a KX modifier to the KO base and addition codes only if all of the 
coverage criteria in the Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity section of the related 
LCD have been met and evidence of such is retained in the suppliers files and available to the DME MAC 
upon request. 
 
If all of the criteria in the "Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity" section of the related 
LCD have not been met, the GA or GZ modifier must be added to the code. When there is an expectation of a 
medical necessity denial, suppliers must enter the GA modifier on the claim line if they have obtained a 
properly executed Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) or the GZ modifier if they have not obtained a valid 
ABN. 
 
Claims lines billed with codes without a KX, GA or GZ modifier will be rejected as missing information. You

The rules state that for each admission to home health, the HHA notifies Medicare systems via submission of a 
Notice of Admission (NOA). 
 
HHAs shall send the NOA to the A/B MAC (HHH) by mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), or direct data 
entry (DDE). EDI submissions require additional data not required by the NOA itself, to satisfy transaction 
standards. This data is described in a companion guide available on the CMS website. HHAs may voluntarily 
agree to adopt the companion guide and use it to submit EDI NOAs at any time. 
 
The HHA can submit an NOA to Medicare when: 
 
   - The HHA has obtained a verbal or written order from the physician that contains the services required for 
the initial visit, and 
   - The HHA has conducted an initial visit at the start of care. 
 
Only one NOA is required for any series of HH periods of care beginning with admission to home care and 
ending with discharge. After a discharge has been reported to Medicare, a new NOA is required before the 
HHA submits any additional claims. 
 
NOAs must be submitted timely. A timely-filed NOA is submitted to and accepted by the A/B MAC (HHH) 
within five calendar days after admission date. 
 
In instances where an NOA is not timely-filed, Medicare shall reduce the payment for a period of care, 
including outlier payment, by the number of days from the home health admission date to the date the NOA is 
submitted to, and accepted by, the A/B MAC (HHH), divided by 30. No LUPA per-visit payments shall be 
made for visits that occurred on days that fall within the period of care prior to the submission of the NOA. This reduction shall be a provider liability, and the provider shall not bill the beneficiary for it.

The rules state that noninvasive fractional flow reserve deduced from computed tomography (FFRCT) involves 
computer-assisted processing of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images to estimate 
changes in blood pressure inside coronary arteries that have partial blockages, with the goal of determining 
how severely the blockages impede blood flow to the heart. FFRCT is a post-processing software for the 
clinical quantitative and qualitative analysis of previously acquired computed tomography (CT) Digital 
Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data for clinically stable symptomatic patients with 
coronary artery disease (CAD). FFRCT analysis is intended to support the functional evaluation of CAD. The 
results of this analysis are provided to support qualified clinicians to aid in the evaluation and assessment of 
coronary arteries. 
 
United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved non-invasive calculated coronary 
fractional flow reserve (FFRCT ) technology derived from CCTA may be reasonable and necessary to guide 
qualified-provider decisions about the use of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in clinically 
stable symptomatic patients with CAD of unknown functional significance, a technically adequate CCTA AND 
the following criteria: 
 
Intermediate risk* patients with acute or stable chest pain and no known coronary artery disease, with coronary 
artery stenosis of 40-90% in proximal or middle coronary artery on CCTA 
 
OR 
 
Intermediate risk with acute chest pain and known non-obstructive (<50%) CAD with findings of coronary 
artery stenosis of 40-90% in a proximal or middle coronary artery on CCTA 
 
OR 
 
Stable nonobstructive coronary artery disease (<50% stenosis) with persistent symptoms requiring further test, 
and findings of 40-90% stenosis on CCTA 
 AND 
 
Not in conjunction with stress testing (unless CCTA was not sufficient quality for FFRCT and an alternative 
study is needed)

Reserve (FFR) for Stable Ischemic Heart Disease L38278.

The rules state that speech-language pathology services are designed to improve or restore speech and language 
functioning (communication) following disease, injury or loss of a body part. Clinicians use the clinical history, 
systems review, physical examination, and a variety of evaluations to characterize individuals with 
impairments, functional limitations and disabilities. Impairments, functional limitations and disabilities thus 
identified are then addressed by the design and implementation of therapeutic interventions tailored to the 
specific needs of the individual patient. The Medicare Administrative Contractor for the State of New Jersey 
has published a list of diagnoses that support medical necessity and must be reported in order to allow coverage 
of certain speech language pathology services, including Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 92507. 
Diagnosis codes R13.12, I69.354, and I50.9 are not included on this list. You can find this information in the
