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 for Medicare to consider coverage and payment for any item or service, the information 
submitted by the supplier or provider must corroborate the documentation in the beneficiary's medical 
documentation and confirm that Medicare coverage criteria have been met. You can see this in the Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity 
Manual Chapter 3, 3.3.2.1. 
 
The rules state that all diagnostic x-ray tests, diagnostic laboratory tests, and other diagnostic tests must be 
ordered by the physician who is treating the beneficiary, that is, the physician who furnishes a consultation or 
treats a beneficiary for a specific medical problem and who uses the results in the management of the 
beneficiary's specific medical problem. Tests not ordered by the physician who is treating the beneficiary are 
not reasonable and necessary. You can find this information in the 42 CFR Section 410.32. 
 
The rules say that pharmacogenomics testing (PGx) testing is not considered reasonable and necessary merely 
on the basis of a patient having a particular diagnosis. Unless the record reflects that the treating clinician has 
already considered non-genetic factors to make a preliminary drug selection, PGx testing is not considered 
reasonable and necessary. 
 
In order for any of the above services to be covered, the patients medical record must clearly reflect the 
following: 
 
1. The patient has a diagnosis for which pharmacologic therapy is reasonable and necessary, and the drug or 
drugs that the clinician is considering using must be reasonable and necessary for the treatment of the patients 
diagnosis. 
2. The clinician has made an initial personalized decision for the patient based on the patients diagnosis, the 
patients other medical conditions, other medications the patient is taking, professional judgement, clinical 
science and basic science pertinent to the drug (e.g., mechanism of action, side effects), the patients past 
medical history and when pertinent family history and the patient's preferences and values. 
3. The provider performing the service must have a record of what drug(s) is/are being considered and for what 
indication(s) to ensure the test performed is reasonable and necessary.

The rules say that the reasonable useful lifetime of durable medical equipment is determined through program 
instructions. In the absence of program instructions, A/B Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACS) (B) 
may determine the reasonable useful lifetime of equipment, but in no case can it be less than 5 years. 
Computation of the useful lifetime is based on when the equipment is delivered to the beneficiary, not the age 
of the equipment. Replacement due to wear is not covered during the reasonable useful lifetime of the 
equipment. During the reasonable useful lifetime, Medicare does cover repair up to the cost of replacement (but 
not actual replacement) for medically necessary equipment owned by the beneficiary.

The rules say that a case mix methodology adjusts the 30-day payment rate based on characteristics of the 
patient and his/her corresponding resource needs (e.g., diagnoses, functional impairment level, and other 
factors). The 30-day period payment rate is adjusted by a case-mix methodology based on information from 
home health claims, other Medicare claims, and data elements from the Outcome and Assessment Information 
Set (OASIS). The claims information and OASIS data elements are used to group 30-day periods of care into 
their case-mix groups. The home health agency receives a national, standardized 30-day payment of a 
predetermined rate for home health services unless CMS determines an intervening event warrants a new 30-
day period for purposes of payment. The partial payment adjustment is a proportion of the period payment and 
is based on the span of days including the start-of-care date (for example, the date of the first billable service) 
through and including the last billable service date under the original plan of care before the intervening event. 
You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Internet-Only Manual, 
Publication 100-02, Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 7, Section 10.2 and 10.7. 
 
The rules say that for continuous home health care periods, the "through" date must be 29 days after "From"

40.2.

The rules say that effective for claims with dates of service July 1, 2007 and after, the non-Outpatient 
Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Outpatient Code Editor (OCE) will be integrated into the OPPS OCE. 
This integration will result in the routing of all institutional outpatient claims, including non-OPPS hospital 
claims, through a single integrated OCE eliminating the need to update two separate OCE software packages 
on a quarterly basis. The integrated OCE does not change the current logic that is applied to outpatient bill 
types that already pass through the OPPS OCE software. It merely expands the software usage to include non-
OPPS hospitals. This new software product will be referred to as the Integrated OCE (I/OCE). The I/OCE 
instructions and specifications are provided via Recurring Update Notifications. They are also posted on the 
Web at the following address 
https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/OutpatientCodeEdit/OCEQtrReleaseSpecs. You can find this 
information in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet-Only Manual, Publication 100-04, 
Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 4, Section 40.1. 
 
The rules state that code 80320  drug screen, quantalcohols  has an I/OCE Status Indicator of B. Services 
with a Status Indicator of B always return edit 62, which means that the procedure code is not recognized by 
Medicare for the outpatient prospective payment system. Edit 62 produces a disposition of Return To Provider: 
There are one or more edits present that cause the whole claim to be returned to the provider. A claim returned 
to the provider means that the provider can resubmit the claim once the problems are corrected. You can find 
this rule in the Integrated Outpatient Code Editor (I/OCE) Quarterly Data File Release, January 2022 edition 
(v23.0).
