The rules say that Medicare will not pay for dental services. Dental services are items and services involving 
the care, treatment, filling, removal or replacement of teeth or structures directly supporting the teeth. Medicare 
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 & Medicaid Services,

reasonable and necessary for the patient. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs used for

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that plans may choose the networks of providers available to enrollees and may require enrollees 
to obtain authorization before receiving services. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112. 
 
The rules say that the plan must pay for emergency and urgently needed services. This rule applies whether the 
services are obtained in or out of the plans network. This rule applies whether or not there is prior 
authorization for the services. The rules say that an emergency is defined as when a prudent layperson would 
believe that without immediate medical attention there would be serious jeopardy to his or her health. The rules 
say that urgently needed services are those needed because of an unforeseen illness or condition and it is not 
reasonable to get the services from the plan. Generally, these services are needed while the enrollee is outside 
of the service area. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.113.

The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. The Plan 
contract also says that urgently needed services are provided to treat a non-emergency, unforeseen medical 
illness, injury, or condition that requires immediate medical care but given your circumstances, it is not 
possible, or it is unreasonable to obtain services from network providers. Examples of urgently needed services 
that the plan must cover out-of-network are i) you need immediate care during the weekend, or ii) you are 
temporarily outside the service area of the plan. Services must be immediately needed and medically necessary.

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 & Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for 
Medicare Services, Chapter I(A). 
 
The rules say that health plans, physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers must comply with the 
Official International Classification of Disease, 10th Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) Coding 
Guidelines. You can find this rule in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 23, Section 10. 
 
The rules state that a type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means NOT CODED HERE! An 
Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the 
Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form 
versus an acquired form of the same condition. 
 
An exception to the Excludes1 definition is the circumstance when the two conditions are unrelated to each 
other. For example, code F45.8, Other somatoform disorders, has an Excludes1 note for "sleep related teeth 
grinding (G47.63)," because "teeth grinding" is an inclusion term under F45.8. Only one of these two codes 
should be assigned for teeth grinding. However psychogenic dysmenorrhea is also an inclusion term under 
F45.8, and a patient could have both this condition and sleep related teeth grinding. In this case, the two 
conditions are clearly unrelated to each other, and so it would be appropriate to report F45.8 and G47.63 
together. 
 
You can find this information in the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, Section I. 
Conventions, general coding guidelines and chapter specific guidelines.

The rules state that inpatient routine services in a hospital or skilled nursing facility generally are those services 
included in by the provider in a daily service charge--sometimes referred to as the "room and board" charge. 
Routine services are composed of two board components; (l) general routine services, and (2) special care units 
(SCU's), including coronary care units (CCU's) and intensive care Units (ICU's). Included in routine services 
are the regular room, dietary and nursing services, minor medical and surgical supplies, medical social services, 
psychiatric social services, and the use of certain equipment and facilities for which a separate charge is not 
customarily made. You can find this information in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet 
Only Manual, Publication 15, Provider Reimbursement Manual, Chapter 22, 2202.6. 
 
The rules say that inpatient charges refer to the regular rates established by the provider for services rendered to 
both beneficiaries and to other paying patients. Charges should be related consistently to the cost of the 
services and uniformly applied to all patients whether inpatient or outpatient. All patients' charges used in the 
development of apportionment ratios should be recorded at the gross value; i.e., charges before the application 
of allowances and discounts deductions. You can find this information in the Centers for Medicare and 
Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 15, Provider Reimbursement Manual, Chapter 22, 
2202.6. 
 
The rules say that when the A/B MAC (A) reviews cost outlier cases, they shall do so using the medical records 
and itemized charges, to verify the following: 
 
1. The admission was medically necessary and appropriate; 
2. Services were medically necessary and delivered in the most appropriate setting; 
3. Services were ordered by the physician, actually furnished, and not duplicatively billed; and 
4. The diagnostic and procedural coding are correct. 
 You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Internet-Only Manual, Publication 
100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 3, Section 20.1.2.9.

The rules say that a computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is a general phrase used to describe a non-
invasive method, using intravenous contrast, to visualize the coronary arteries (or other vessels) using high-
resolution, high- speed computed tomography (CT). 
 
After examining the medical evidence, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has determined that no 
national coverage determination is appropriate at this time. Section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act 
decisions should be made by local MACs through a local coverage determination process or case-by-case 
adjudication. You can find this rule in the National Coverage Determination (NCD) Computed Tomography 
220.1.

cost sharing, when an in-network provider or benefit is unavailable or inadequate to meet a member's medical 
needs. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112(a)(1)(iii).

The rules say that a Medicare Advantage (MA) organization may specify a network of providers from whom 
enrollees may obtain services. The MA organization must maintain and monitor a network of appropriate 
providers that is sufficient to provide adequate access to covered services to meet the needs of the enrollee. MA 
organizations must arrange for and cover any medically necessary covered benefit outside of the plan provider 
network, but at in-network cost sharing, when an in-network provider or benefit is unavailable or inadequate to 
meet an enrollee's medical needs. MA organizations offering coordinated care plans must ensure continuity of 
care and integration of services through arrangements with contracted providers. This includes services 
available through contracting or non-contracting providers in the area serviced by the MA plan including 
nursing home and community-based services, and behavioral health services. For enrollees undergoing an 
active course of treatment, approval of a prior authorization request for a course of treatment must be valid for 
as long as medically necessary to avoid disruptions in care. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112.
