improper coding leading to inappropriate payment in Part B claims. The Coding Policy Manual also explains 
what is referred to as Column One/Column Two Correct Coding and Mutually Exclusive Edits. These are code 
pairs that should not be reported together. Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) subject all line items 
for the same beneficiary, same National Provider Identifier (NPI), and same date of service to National Correct 
Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits. The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) File Formats continue to 
include a Correct Coding Modifier Indicator (CCMI) for the Column One / Column Two Correct Coding edit 
file. This indicator determines whether an NCCI Procedure to Procedure (PTP)-associated modifier causes the 
code pair to bypass the edit. 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 20.9.

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that Medicare will pay for durable medical equipment (DME) that is reasonable and necessary for 
treatment of an illness or injury, or to improve the functioning of a malformed body part. Medicare considers 
equipment to be reasonable and necessary if the equipment does not serve the same purpose as other equipment 
already available to an enrollee. 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(C). 
 
The reasonable useful lifetime of durable medical equipment is determined through program instructions. In the 
absence of program instructions, A/B MACS (B) may determine the reasonable useful lifetime of equipment, 
but in no case can it be less than 5 years. Computation of the useful lifetime is based on when the equipment is 
delivered to the beneficiary, not the age of the equipment. Replacement due to wear is not covered during the 
reasonable useful lifetime of the equipment. During the reasonable useful lifetime, Medicare does cover repair 
up to the cost of replacement (but not actual replacement) for medically necessary equipment owned by the 
beneficiary Medicare Benefit Policy Manual Chapter 15, Section 110.2, Repairs, Maintenance, Replacement 
and Delivery.
