You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that proper coding is necessary on Medicare claims because the codes are generally used to 
determine coverage and payment amounts. CMS accepts only HIPPA approved ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-
CM/ICD-10-PCS codes, depending on the date of service. Use the diagnosis code that describes the patients 
diagnosis, symptom, complaint, condition or problem. Assign the code to the highest level of specificity. The 
"highest degree of specificity" refers to assigning the most precise code that most fully explains the narrative 
description of the symptom or diagnosis. You can find these rules in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual 
Chapter 23, Sections 10. 
 
The rules say certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due 
to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the 
underlying condition be sequenced first, if applicable, followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a 
combination exists, there is a use additional code note at the etiology code, and a code first note at the 
manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology 
followed by manifestation. You can find this rule in the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and 
Reporting FY 2022.

purpose. Items such as hospital beds, respirators, wheelchairs and crutches are examples of equipment that are 
clearly used for medical purposes. Medicare will not pay for: 
 
1. Equipment that is primarily and customarily used for nonmedical purposes. Examples include air 
conditioners, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and electric air cleaners; 
2. Equipment used for a patients comfort or for the convenience of a person caring for the patient. Examples 
include elevators, stairway elevators, physical fitness equipment and self-help devices such as grab bars. You 
can find these rules in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-
02, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 110.1.  
 
The rules say that a power seat elevation feature (E2300) and power standing feature (E2301) are non-covered 
because they are not primarily medical in nature. If a wheelchair has an electrical connection device described 
by code E2310 or E2311 and if the sole function of the connection is for a power seat elevation or power 
standing feature, it will be denied as non-covered. You can find this rule in Local Coverage Article: Wheelchair

The rules say that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be used to detect biomarkers important for prognosis, 
identifying treatment, and monitoring response to treatments in cancer. Biomarker detection from CTCs may 
therefore serve as a potential alternative to biomarker detection from biopsy specimens for certain cancers, 
including breast and prostate. To report a service for biomarker detection from circulating tumor cells, select 
CPT code 81479. You can find this rule in the Local Coverage Determination and Article for Molecular
