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 the provider, supplier, or beneficiary, as appropriate, must furnish to the intermediary or 
carrier sufficient information to determine whether payment is due and the amount of payment. You can find 
this rule at 42 CFR 424.5. 
 
The rules say for Medicare to consider coverage and payment for any item or service, the information 
submitted by the supplier or provider must corroborate the documentation in the beneficiary's medical 
documentation and confirm that Medicare coverage criteria have been met. You can see this in the Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity 
Manual Chapter 3, 3.3.2.1. 
 
The rules say that a Medicare plan may restrict members to a network of providers as long as medically 
necessary covered care is accessible and available through this network. The rules say that the Plan must 
arrange for specialty care outside of the Plan provider network when network providers are unavailable or 
inadequate to meet a member's medical needs. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112(a)(3).

(generally, when the enrollee is out of the area), out-of-area dialysis services, and cases in which the Plan 
authorizes the use of out-of-network providers. You can find this information on page 28 of the Plans 2022

The rules state that a physicians service will not be utilized to fill the pump with the drug to be infused when 
dispensed by the pharmacy to the patient in claims submitted to the A/B MAC. Pharmacies, suppliers and 
providers may not bill Medicare Part B for drugs dispensed directly to a beneficiary for administration 
incident to a physician service, such as refilling an implanted drug pump. These claims will be denied. 
Pharmacies may not bill Medicare Part B for drugs furnished to a physician for administration to a Medicare 
beneficiary. When these drugs are administered in the physicians office to the beneficiary, these drugs can be 
billed to Medicare only if the physician purchases the drugs from the pharmacy and the drugs are represented 
as an expense to the physician. Pharmacies may not bill Medicare Part B under the incident to provision. You 
can find these rules in Local Coverage Determination (LCD) Implantable Infusion Pump (L35112) and the 
associated Local Coverage Article (LCA) Billing and Coding Implantable Infusion Pump (A56778).

The rules say that all claims for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetic, and Orthotic Supplies (DMEPOS) 
require a written order/prescription from the treating practitioner. The supplier must keep the order and proof of 
delivery documentation on file. All services that do not have appropriate proof of delivery will be denied. The 
supplier should also obtain as much documentation from the patients medical record as they determine they 
need to assure themselves that coverage criteria for an item have been met. If the information in the patients 
medical record does not adequately support the medical necessity for the item, the supplier is liable for the 
dollar amount involved unless a properly executed Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) of possible denial has 
been obtained. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only 
Manual, Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 5, Sections 5.2.1, 5.9 and 5.10. 
 
The rules say that, generally, the date of service shall be the date of delivery. Exceptions are made for suppliers 
who use a delivery/shipping service. If the supplier uses a delivery/shipping service, the supplier may use the 
shipping date as the date of service on the claim. The shipping date may be defined as the date the 
delivery/shipping service label is created or the date the item is retrieved for delivery; however, such dates 
should not demonstrate significant variation. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 4, Sections 
4.7.3.1.1.

100 lancets every 3 months are covered if the basic coverage criteria (1)-(2) (above) are met. For a beneficiary 
who is currently being treated with insulin administrations, up to 300 test strips and up to 300 lancets every 3

The rules say that HHAs must report where home health services were provided. The following codes are used 
for this reporting:

Q5002: Hospice or home health care provided in assisted living facility 
Q5009: Hospice or home health care provided in place not otherwise specified 
 
The location where services were provided must always be reported along with the first visit reported on the 
claim. In addition to reporting a visit line using the G codes as described above, HHAs must report an 
additional line item with the same revenue code and date of service, reporting one of the three Q codes (Q5001, 
Q5002, and Q5009), one unit and a nominal covered charge (e.g., a penny). If the location where services were 
provided changes during the period of care, the new location should be reported with an additional line 
corresponding to the first visit provided in the new location.

into the payment for the physician service to which it is incident. You can find this rule in the Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing 
Manual Chapter 23, Section 30.2.2.

payer, the provider or enrollee must first submit the claim to the primary payer. If the primary payer does not 
pay in full for the services, Medicare secondary benefits may be paid. The enrollee must file a claim with the 
primary payer or cooperate fully with the provider so that the provider can file the necessary claim. You can

Medicare Secondary Payer Manual, Chapter 1, Section 20 and Chapter 3, Section 10.8.

The Plan contract says that the Plan covers items and services in accordance with Medicare rules. The Plan 
contract also says that when you have other insurance (like employer group health coverage), there are rules set 
by Medicare that decide whether our plan or your other insurance pays first. The insurance that pays first is 
called the primary payer and pays up to the limits of its coverage. The one that pays second, called the 
secondary payer, only pays if there are costs left uncovered by the primary coverage. The secondary payer 
may not pay all of the uncovered costs. These rules apply for employer or union group health plan coverage.

participate in Medicare. You can find this information on page 30 of the Plan's 2022 Evidence of Coverage.
