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 and Medicaid Services, 
Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-02, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 150.

requested item or service but is limited to one procedure code every 5 calendar years. You can find this 
information in Chapter 4 on page 81 of the Plan's 2023 Evidence of Coverage (EOC).

to home health, the HHA notifies Medicare systems via submission of a notice of admission (NOA). An NOA 
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. NOAs are submitted using TOB 032A. You can find this rule in the

The rules state that in the case of tests for infectious agents, methodologies include detection by 
immunofluorescence, immunoassay, or nucleic acid probe techniques. A single laboratory procedure shall be 
reported as one unit of service whether it generates one or multiple results. When multiple procedures, multiple 
methodologies, or multiple kits are medically necessary and used to perform a test for multiple infectious 
agents, the units of service reported for codes that identify multiple infectious agents equals the number of 
different procedures, methodologies, or kits used to perform the test. You can find this information in the 
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) 
Manual, Chapter 10, Section M(15).

The rules state that to report a service for Molecular Syndromic Panels for Infectious Disease Pathogen 
Identification Testing, please submit the following claim information: 
- The appropriate procedure code 
~ If the panel being used does not have its own proprietary procedure code, select the appropriate 
code and follow the additional instructions for the given 'panel'. If no specific code exists for the 
test submitted, bill with code 87999. 
- Procedure codes that are not billed with the appropriate accompanying diagnosis codes will be denied. 
Tests with other indicated uses may therefore submit for a Z-code and undergo a Technical Assessment 
(TA) by MolDX. Tests using code 87999 will also require a Z-Code and a TA. 
- Tests that are Food & Drug Administration (FDA)-approved/cleared and performed in ways consistent 
with their intended use labeling directions do not require a Z-code when billed with an appropriate 
accompanying diagnosis code. However, the performance of multiple FDA-approved/cleared molecular 
Infectious Disease pathogen identification tests on the same date of service (DOS) for the same 
intended use on the same patient sample is considered as one distinct service and requires a Z-Code and 
a TA. If an existing code does not identify the service, it requires the use of code 87999. 
- Add modifier 59 for different species or strains reported by the same code, as allowed by the policy. 
- Enter 1 unit of service (UOS) 
- If applicable, enter the appropriate DEX Z-Code identifier adjacent to the procedure code in the 
comment/narrative field 
- Select the appropriate diagnosis code(s)

Panels for Infectious Disease Pathogen Identification Testing (A58710).

The rules state that the global surgery package of procedures with a global period of 10 or 90 days includes all 
additional medical or surgical services required of the surgeon during the postoperative period of the surgery 
because of complications which do not require additional trips to the operating room, follow-up visits during 
the postoperative period of the surgery that are related to recovery from the surgery, among other related 
services. In order to report an unrelated evaluation and management (EM) service by same physician during a 
postoperative period, modifier -24 must be used. Services submitted with the -24 modifier must be sufficiently 
documented to establish that the visit was unrelated to the surgery. Not included in the global surgery payment 
are clearly distinct surgical procedures during the postoperative period which are not re-operations or treatment 
for complications. These services should be billed with modifier -79. You can find this information in the 
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Internet-Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual, Chapter 12, Section 40.1.

carrier sufficient information to determine whether payment is due and the amount of payment. You can find
this rule at 42 CFR 424.5.

documentation and confirm that Medicare coverage criteria have been met. You can see this in the Centers for

The rules say an expandable controller is capable of accommodating one or more of the following additional
functions: - Other types of proportional input devices (e.g., mini-proportional or compact joysticks, touchpads,
chin control, head control, etc.) - Non-proportional input devices (e.g., sip and puff, head array, etc.) - Operate
3 or more powered seating actuators through the drive control. (Note: Control of the power seating actuators
though the Control Input Device would require the use of an additional component, E2310 or E2311.) An
expandable controller may also be able to operate one or more of the following: - A separate display (i.e., for
alternate control devices) - Other electronic devices (e.g., control of an augmentative speech device or
computer through the chair's drive control) - An attendant control A harness (E2313) describes all of the wires,
fuse boxes, fuses, circuits, switches, etc. that are required for the operation of an expandable controller. It also
includes all the necessary fasteners, connectors, and mounting hardware. Code E2313 is separately billable in
addition to an expandable controller both at initial issue and with complete replacement of the expandable
controller. Code K0108 must not be used for any component or feature of an expandable controller at the time
of initial issue. The reimbursement for any type of complete expandable controller is included in the allowance
for codes E2377/E2376 plus E2313. However, if individual components of the harness are replaced, code
K0108 should be used. Miscellaneous options, accessories, or replacement parts for wheelchairs that do not
have a specific Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code and are not included in another
code should be coded K0108. You can find this information in the Local Coverage Article (LCA): Wheelchair
Options/Accessories (A52504).
