The rules state that thermal radiofrequency destruction of cervical, thoracic, or lumbar paravertebral facet joint 
(medial branch) nerves are considered medically reasonable and necessary for patients who meet ALL the 
following criteria:  
 
1. After the patient has had at least two (2) medically reasonable and necessary diagnostic medial branch 
blocks, with each one providing a consistent minimum of 80% sustained relief of primary (index) pain (with 
the duration of relief being consistent with the agent used) AND  
2. Repeat thermal facet joint RFA at the same anatomic site is considered medically reasonable and necessary 
provided the patient had a minimum of consistent 50% improvement in pain for at least six (6) months or at 
least 50% consistent improvement in the ability to perform previously painful movements and ADLs as 
compared to baseline measurement using the same scale;

The rules say that Guardant360 remains covered for patients with non-CNS originated solid tumors who 
meet the criteria of NCD 90.2 when the following conditions are met: 
Patient has been diagnosed with a recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or advanced solid tumor that did 
not originate from the central nervous system. Patients who would meet all of the indications on the FDA label 
for larotrectinib if they are found to have an NTRK mutation may be considered to have advanced cancer, and 
 Patient has not previously been tested with the Guardant360 test for the same primary cancer. For a 
patient who has been tested previously using Guardant360 for a cancer, that patient may only be 
tested again when the patient has a new primary cancer diagnosis. In a patient with previously tested 
primary cancer, who has evidence of new malignant growth, that growth may be considered to be a 
different primary cancer if it does not originate from the same cell line or it is physiologically different 
enough that it responds differently to treatment than the previously tested cancer, and 
 Patient is untreated for the primary cancer being tested or the patient is not responding to treatment (e.g. 
progression or new lesions on treatment), and 
 The patient has decided to seek further cancer treatment with the following conditions: 
 The patient is a candidate for further treatment with a drug that is either FDA-approved for that 
patients cancer, or has an NCCN 1 or NCCN 2A recommendation for that patients cancer, and 
 The FDA-approved indication or NCCN recommendation is based upon information about the 
presence or absence of a genetic biomarker tested for in the Guardant360 assay, and 
 Tissue-based CGP is infeasible (i.e., quantity not sufficient for tissue-based CGP or invasive biopsy is 
medically contraindicated) or specifically in NSLC Tissue-based CGP has shown no actionable 
mutations.

The rules say that Medicare pays for home health care services under a prospective payment system (HH PPS). 
Home health services under a plan of care are paid based on a 60-day episode of care. Payment for home health 
care episodes is usually made in two parts. To receive the first part of the HH PPS split payment, the home 
health agency must submit a Request for Anticipated Payment (RAP). Specific data elements are required to 
submit a RAP. The home health agency must enter the claim - Outcome and Assessment Information Set 
(OASIS) matching key output by the Grouper software. This is known as the Treatment Authorization Code. 
You can find this rule, a list of the data elements, and instructions for the Treatment Authorization Code in the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 40.1. 
 
The rules say that after a RAP has been paid and a 60-day episode has been completed or the enrollee has been 
discharged, the home health agency must submit a claim to receive the rest of payment due for the episode. 
You can find this rule and detailed instructions for the claim in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 
40.2. 
 
The rules say that all Home Health Agencies (HHAs) must submit a request for anticipated payment (RAP) 
within 5 calendar days after the start of care date for initial 30-day periods and within 5 calendar days after the 
from date for each subsequent 30-day period of care, which is set at 0 percent at the beginning of every 30-
day period. HHAs receive a single payment for a 30-day period of care after the final claim is submitted. You 
can find this information in 42 CFR 484.205 (g)(3).
