 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 providers/suppliers must report services correctly. Procedures should be reported with the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter I(A).  The rules say that the Correct Coding Initiative was developed to promote correct coding and to control 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.

The laboratory shall not report multiple individual CPT codes describing the component test results. If a single procedure is performed, only one HCPCS/CPT code with one unit of service may be reported for the procedure.
