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 presumptive drug testing may be reported with CPT codes 80305-80307. These codes differ 
based on the level of complexity of the testing methodology. Only one code from this code range may be 
reported per date of service. 
 
Definitive drug testing may be reported with Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes 
G0480-G0483 and G0659. These codes differ based on the number of drug classes including metabolites 
tested. Only one code from this group of codes may be reported per date of service. You can find this 
information in the Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual, Chapter X Pathology / 
Laboratory Services CPT Codes 80000 - 89999.

contract says that, with limited exceptions, members of the Plan must use network providers to get medical care 
and services. The only exceptions are emergencies, urgently needed care when the network is not available 
(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 pages 38 to 39 of the Plan's

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,

The rules state that CTP (using automated post-processing software algorithmic analysis) is medically 
reasonable and necessary in patients with small acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by unilateral large vessel 
occlusion (LVO) in the proximal anterior circulation evaluated at stroke centers; CTP can be used to aid in 
selection for endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVT) if 1 of the following other conditions is fulfilled: 
1. Treatment (femoral puncture) can be started within 6-24 hours of the time last known to be at 
neurologic baseline and who meet the pre-CTP inclusion/exclusion criteria as defined by the DAWN 
trial, or 
2. Treatment (femoral puncture) can be started within 6-16 hours of the time last known to be at 
neurologic baseline and who meet the pre-CTP inclusion/exclusion criteria as defined by the DEFUSE 
3 trial. 
*excluding criteria purely related to study mechanics (e.g., able to return for protocol required follow-up visits, 
etc.) 
The 2012 AHA/ASA guidelines for the management of aneurysmal SAH state that perfusion imaging with CT 
or magnetic resonance can be useful to identify regions of potential brain ischemia (Class Ia; Level of 
Evidence B). However, current UpToDate guidance concludes that CTP clinical utility...remains to be 
established and that the use of this technique as a monitoring tool may be limited by risks of recurrent dye 
loads and radiation exposure, as well as by lack of standardized methodology. The 2015 AHA/ASA guidelines 
for the management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage has no mention of CTP, nor does 
UpToDate. Regarding trauma and oncologic indications, there appears to be insufficient evidence to support 
the routine use of CTP. You can find this rule at the Medicare Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L38769: 
Computed Tomography Cerebral Perfusion Analysis (CTP). If you want to read these Medicare rules, you can go to this website www.medicareappeal.com.

the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual

The rules say that the Physician Fee Schedule Status Indicator I means that this code is not valid for Medicare 
purposes. Medicare uses another code for reporting of, and payment for, these services. The rules say that the 
Physician Fee Schedule Status Indicator N means that this code is a non-covered service. These codes are 
carried on the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) tape as noncovered services. You can 
find this information in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 
100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 23, Section 30.2.2. 
 
The rules say that sales taxes where appropriate were included in the calculation of reasonable charges 
computed. They were also accounted for in the calculation of the base fee schedules for durable medical 
equipment (DME) and orthotic/prosthetic devices. The Consumer Price Index used to update fee schedules also 
accounts for sales tax. Therefore, Medicare Administrative Contractor (MACs) do not make any additional 
payment for sales taxes and do not make adjustments in fees to reflect local changes in tax rates. You can find 
this rule in the Medicare Claim Processing Manual, Chapter 23- Fee Schedule Administration and Coding, 
80.3.1- Calculating Customer Charge. 
 
The rules say that orthopedic shoes and other supportive devices for the feet generally are not covered. 
However, this exclusion does not apply to such a shoe if it is an integral part of a leg brace, and its expense is 
included as part of the cost of the brace. Also, this exclusion does not apply to therapeutic shoes furnished to 
diabetics. 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 290(3).

inserts, or one pair of depth shoes and three pairs of inserts (not including the non-customized removable 
inserts provided with such shoes). Coverage includes fitting. You can find this information in Chapter 4 on
