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 Medicare may cover a drug or biological if it is safe and effective and otherwise reasonable 
and necessary. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only 
Manual, Publication 100-02, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 50.4.1. 
 
The rules say that Botulinum toxin can be used to reduce spasticity or excessive muscular contractions, to 
relieve pain, to assist with posture and walking, to improve range of motion, to enhance the effectiveness of 
physical therapy, and to reduce severe spasm to allow better perineal hygiene. Organic writers cramp is 
uncommon, and so botulinum toxin for the treatment of organic writers cramp should be infrequent. 
Botulinum toxin is indicated for disorders associated with spastic conditions and dystonia. The wide range of 
botulinum toxin dosages used in a treatment session is determined by patient age, degree of spasticity, number 
of injections made into each muscle and number of muscles treated. Electromyography or muscle stimulation, 
rather than site pain or tenderness, to determine injection site(s) for botulinum toxin may be necessary, 
especially for spastic conditions of the face, neck, and hand. You can find this rule in the Local Coverage 
Determination for Botulinum Toxins, L33949.

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 when services are furnished in a mobile unit, they are often provided to serve an entity for 
which another POS code exists. For example, a mobile unit may be sent to a physicians office or a skilled 
nursing facility. If the mobile unit is serving an entity for which another POS code already exists, providers 
should use the POS code for that entity. However, if the mobile unit is not serving an entity which could be 
described by an existing POS code, the providers are to use the Mobile Unit POS code 15. Apply the 
nonfacility rate to payments for services designated as being furnished in POS code 15; apply the appropriate 
facility or nonfacility rate for the POS code designated when a code other than the mobile unit code is 
indicated. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual Chapter 26, Section 10.5.

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 a contract plan provider is an agent of the plan. Services and referrals obtained from a plan 
provider are viewed as plan-approved unless notice is given that the services will not be covered. When a plan 
provider gives, or refers an enrollee for, a service that the enrollee reasonably believes is covered by the plan, 
the enrollee is held harmless and need not pay more than the plan-allowed cost-sharing for that service.  
 
If a service is never covered by the plan and the plan's Evidence of Coverage (EOC) is clear that the service or 
item is never covered, the plan does not have to hold the enrollee harmless.  
 
For a service or item that is normally not covered, but could be covered under some conditions, the EOC alone 
is not adequate notice of non-coverage. If no notice of non-coverage is given, the enrollee is held harmless. 
You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 
100-16, Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 4, Section 160. 
 
 
  The rules say that Medicare will not pay for dental services. Dental services are items and services involving

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.

diagnostic services, restorative services, endodontics, periodontics, extractions, prosthodontics, and other 
oral/maxillofacial surgery. Office visits are excluded from this benefit. The Plan contract also says that covered 
services for outpatient diagnostic tests and therapeutic services and supplies include, but are not limited to x-
rays, radiation therapy, surgical supplies, splints, casts and other devices used to reduce fractures and 
dislocations, laboratory tests, blood, and other outpatient diagnostic tests. You can find this information on
