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 determination of the medical necessity for certain components/additions to the prosthesis is 
based on the beneficiarys potential functional abilities. Potential functional ability is based on the reasonable 
expectations of the prosthetist, and treating practitioner, considering factors including, but not limited to: 
 
    The beneficiarys past history (including prior prosthetic use if applicable); and 
 
    The beneficiarys current condition including the status of the residual limb and the nature of other medical 
problems; and 
 
    The beneficiarys desire to ambulate. 
 
Clinical assessments of beneficiary rehabilitation potential must be based on the following classification levels: 
 
Level 0: Does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer safely with or without assistance and a 
prosthesis does not enhance their quality of life or mobility. 
Level 1: Has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed 
cadence. Typical of the limited and unlimited household ambulator. 
Level 2: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low level environmental barriers 
such as curbs, stairs or uneven surfaces. Typical of the limited community ambulator. 
Level 3: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. Typical of the community ambulator 
who has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise 
activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple locomotion. 
Level 4: Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting 
high impact, stress, or energy levels. Typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult, or athlete. 
 
The records must document the beneficiarys current functional capabilities and his/her expected functional 
potential, including an explanation for the difference, if that is the case. It is recognized, within the functional 
classification hierarchy, that bilateral amputees often cannot be strictly bound by functional level 
classifications. You can find this information in Medicare's Local Coverage Determination (LCD): Lower 
Limb Prostheses (L33787).

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, 
Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-02, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 150.

or services, but the comprehensive oral evaluation is limited to 1 procedure every 3 calendar years, the intraoral 
radiographic images are limited to 1 procedure code per calendar year, and the panoramic radiographic images 
are limited to 1 procedure code every 5 calendar years. You can find this information on pages 84 to 86 of the

The rules state that payment can be made under the fee schedule for anesthesia services associated with 
multiple surgical procedures or multiple bilateral procedures. Payment is determined based on the base unit of 
the anesthesia procedure with the highest base unit value and time units based on the actual anesthesia time of 
the multiple procedures. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet 
Only Manual, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12, Section 50(E). 
 
The rules also state that anesthesia codes describe a general anatomic area or service which usually relates to a 
number of surgical procedures, often from multiple sections of the CPT Manual. For Medicare purposes, 
only one anesthesia code is reported unless the anesthesia code is an Add-on Code (AOC). You can find this 
rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy 
Manual, Chapter 2(B).

glucose monitor (CGM) must be billed with code E2103. Code E2103 describes a non-adjunctive CGM that 
meets the requirements of the durable medical equipment (DME) benefit. To be eligible for Medicare 
reimbursement, all CGM devices billed as E2103 must have received coding verification review by the Pricing, 
Data Analysis and Coding (PDAC) contractor and be listed on the Product Classification List (PCL) for 
Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code E2103. You can find this information in the 
Local Coverage Article: Glucose Monitor - Policy Article (A52464).

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations 
due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the 
underlying condition be sequenced first, if applicable, followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a 
combination exists, there is a use additional code note at the etiology code, and a code first note at the 
manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology 
followed by manifestation. You can find this information in the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding 
and Reporting FY2022. 
 
The rules state that some ICD-10-CM codes indicate laterality, specifying whether the condition occurs on the 
left, right or is bilateral. If no bilateral code is provided and the condition is bilateral, assign separate codes for 
both the left and right side. If the side is not identified in the medical record, assign the code for the unspecified 
side. You can find this information in the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, Section I, 
Conventions, general coding guidelines and chapter specific guidelines.

  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 evaluation and management services on the day before major surgery or on the day of major 
surgery that result in the initial decision to perform the surgery are not included in the global surgery payment 
for the major surgery and, therefore, may be billed and paid separately. In addition to the CPT evaluation and 
management code, modifier "-57" (decision for surgery) is used to identify a visit which results in the initial 
decision to perform surgery. If evaluation and management services occur on the day of surgery, the physician 
bills using modifier "-57," not "-25." You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 
Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12, Section

The rules state that code E1028 is not to be used for swingaway hardware used with a sip and puff interface 
(E2325) because swingaway hardware is included in the allowance for that code. Code E1028 is not to be used 
for hardware on a wheelchair tray (E0950). Do not use E1028 in addition to E1020 (Residual limb support 
system) as it includes swingaway hardware. 

A power seat elevation feature (E2300) and power standing feature (E2301) are non-covered because they are 
not primarily medical in nature. If a wheelchair has an electrical connection device described by code E2310 or 
E2311 and if the sole function of the connection is for a power seat elevation or power standing feature, it will 
be denied as non-covered.

The Plan contract also says Your in-network maximum out-of-pocket amount is $4,500. This is the most you 
pay during the calendar year for covered Medicare Part A and Part B services received from network providers. 
The amounts you pay for copayments, and coinsurance for covered services from network providers count 
toward this in-network maximum out-of-pocket amount. (The amounts you pay for your Part D prescription 
drugs, and services from out-of-network providers do not count toward your in-network maximum out-of-
pocket amount. In addition, amounts you pay for some services do not count toward your in-network maximum 
out-ofpocket amount. These services are marked with an asterisk in the Medical Benefits Chart.) If you have 
paid $4,500 for covered Part A and Part B services from network providers, you will not have any out-of-
pocket costs for the rest of the year when you see our network providers. However, you must continue to pay 
the Medicare Part B premium (unless your Part B premium is paid for you by Medicaid or another third party).
