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 a contract plan provider is an agent of the plan. Services and referrals obtained from a plan
provider are viewed as plan-approved unless notice is given that the services will not be covered.
When a plan provider gives, or refers an enrollee for, a service that the enrollee reasonably believes is covered
by the plan, the enrollee is held harmless and need not pay more than the plan-allowed cost-sharing for that
service.
If a service is never covered by the plan and the plan's Evidence of Coverage (EOC) is clear that the service or
item is never covered, the plan does not have to hold the enrollee harmless.
For a service or item that is normally not covered, but could be covered under some conditions, the EOC alone
is not adequate notice of non-coverage. If no notice of non-coverage is given, the enrollee is held harmless.
You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication
100-16, Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 4, Section 160.

1. Treatment (femoral puncture) can be started within 6-24 hours of the time last known to be at neurologic baseline and who meet the pre-CTP inclusion/exclusion criteria as defined by the DAWN trial, or
2. Treatment (femoral puncture) can be started within 6-16 hours of the time last known to be at neurologic baseline and who meet the pre-CTP inclusion/exclusion criteria as defined by the DEFUSE 3 trial
