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 state that Codes for Chemotherapy administration and nonchemotherapy injections and infusions 
include the following three categories of codes in the American Medical Association's Current Procedural 
Terminology (CPT): Hydration; Therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic injections and infusions (excluding 
chemotherapy); and Chemotherapy administration. Physician work related to hydration, injection, and infusion 
services involves the affirmation of the treatment plan and the supervision (pursuant to incident to 
requirements) of nonphysician clinical staff. Therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic injections and infusions 
(excluding chemotherapy) A therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic intravenous (IV) infusion or injection, 
other than hydration, is for the administration of substances/drugs. The fluid used to administer the drug (s) is 
incidental hydration and is not separately payable. If performed to facilitate the infusion or injection or 
hydration, the following services and items are included and are not separately billable: Use of local anesthesia; 
IV start; Access to indwelling IV, subcutaneous catheter or port; Flush at conclusion of infusion; and Standard 
tubing, syringes and supplies.  
 
Payment for the above is included in the payment for the chemotherapy administration or nonchemotherapy 
injection and infusion service. If a significant separately identifiable evaluation and management (E&M) 
service is performed, the appropriate E&M code should be reported utilizing modifier 25 in addition to the 
chemotherapy administration or nonchemotherapy injection and infusion service. For an evaluation and 
management service provided on the same day, a different diagnosis is not required. You can find this rule in 
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Internet-Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims 
Processing Manual.

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) has established units of service edits 
referred to as Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs). An MUE for a Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System 
(HCPCS)/Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code is the maximum number of units of service under most 
circumstances allowable by the same provider for the same enrollee on the same date of service. Claims 
submitted where the unit of service exceeds the MUE value for that HCPCS/CPT code will be denied.   
 
Beginning on April 1, 2013, CMS introduced the MUE Adjudication Indicator (MAI) to differentiate between 
types of MUEs. If a code has an MAI of 1, appropriate use of a modifier may be used to report the same code 
on separate lines of the claim. MUEs for codes with an MAI of 2 are absolute date of service edits. These are 
per day edits based on policy. Codes with an MAI of 2 have been rigorously reviewed and vetted within 
CMS and obtain this MAI designation because units of service on the same date of service (DOS) in excess of 
the MUE value would be considered impossible because it was contrary to statute, regulation, or subregulatory 
guidance. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service, Medicare National Correct 
Coding Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services, Chapter I(V). 
 
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. An add-on code is eligible for payment 
only if it is reported with an appropriate primary procedure performed by the same practitioner. An add-on 
code is not eligible for payment if it is the only procedure reported by a practitioner. The only exception is as 
follows:  
 
For the same date of service only one physician of the same specialty in the group practice may report code 
99291 (primary) with or without code 99292 (add-on), and the other physician(s) must report their critical care 
services with CPT code 99292. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 
Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 23, Section 20.9.

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

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in 
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual for

The rules say that the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) was developed to prevent inappropriate 
payment of services that should not be reported together. NCCI edits are organized in a Column One/Column 
Two table. Each edit is a pair of codes that should not be reported together. If a provider reports two codes of 
an edit pair, only the Column One code is payable. For edits with a modifier indicator of 0, the Column Two 
code cannot be paid regardless of whether a modifier is used. You can find this in the NCCI Manual, Chapter 1.
