The rules say tests evaluated through the application process and/or technical assessment will be reviewed to 
answer the following questions: 
 
 Is the test performed in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms of disease? 
 Will the test results provide the clinician with information that will improve patient outcomes and/or change 
physician care and treatment of the patient? 
 Will the test results confirm a diagnosis or known information? 
 Is the test performed to determine risk for developing a disease or condition? 
 Will risk assessment change management of the patient? 
 Is there a diagnosis specific indication to perform the test? 
 Is the test performed to measure the quality of a process or for Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA), 
i.e., a test to ensure a tissue specimen matches the patient?

The rules say genetic testing is available for a number of types of inherited thrombophilia, including mutations 
in the FVL, F2 and MTHFR genes. However, the clinical utility of testing is uncertain. The clinical utility of 
genetic testing depends on the ability of testing results to change management that results in improved clinical 
outcomes. The clinical utility of genetic testing for thrombophilia is based on the overall risk of 
thromboembolism and the risk/benefit ratio of treatment, primarily with anticoagulants. 
 
During the previous 5 years, a number of guidelines and/or position statements on testing for thrombophilia 
have been published. In 2011, The Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention Working 
Groups (EGAPP) addressed genetic testing for FVL and F2 mutations. The expert consensus recommended: 
 
    There is no evidence that knowledge of FVL/F2 mutation status in patients with VTE affects anticoagulation 
treatment to avoid recurrence; 
    There is convincing evidence that anticoagulation beyond three months reduces recurrence of VTE, 
regardless of mutation status; 
    There is no evidence that knowledge of FVL/F2 mutation status among symptomatic family members of 
patients with VTE leads to anticoagulation aimed at avoiding initial episodes of VTE (See note).

  The rules say that the date of service (DOS) of the test/service must be the date the specimen was collected. If a 
specimen is collected over a period that spans two calendar days, then the DOS must be the date the collection 
ended. In the case of a molecular pathology test performed by a laboratory other than a blood bank or center, or 
a test designated as an advanced diagnostic laboratory test (ADLT), the DOS must be the date the test was 
performed only if: 
1. The test was performed following a hospital outpatients discharge from the hospital outpatient department;  
2. The specimen was collected from a hospital outpatient during an encounter;  
3. It was medically appropriate to have collected the sample from the hospital outpatient during the hospital 
outpatient encounter;  
4. The results of the test do not guide treatment provided during the hospital outpatient encounter; and  
5. The test was reasonable and medically necessary for the treatment of an illness.

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 all services integral to accomplishing a procedure are considered bundled into that procedure 
and, therefore, are considered a component part of the comprehensive code. Many of these generic activities 
are common to virtually all procedures and, on other occasions, some are integral to only a certain group of 
procedures but are still essential to accomplish these particular procedures. Accordingly, it is inappropriate to 
separately report these services based on standard medical and surgical principles. 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 30(a). 
 
The rules say that the following procedures apply when billing for multiple surgeries by the same physician on 
the same day. Report the more major surgical procedure without the multiple procedures modifier -51. 
Report additional surgical procedures performed by the surgeon on the same day with modifier -51. You can 
find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04,

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 the Correct Coding Initiative was developed to promote correct coding and to control 
improper coding leading to inappropriate payment in Part B claims. The Coding Policy Manual also explains 
what is referred to as Column One/Column Two Correct Coding and Mutually Exclusive Edits. These are code 
pairs that should not be reported together. Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) subject all line items 
for the same beneficiary, same National Provider Identifier (NPI), and same date of service to National Correct 
Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits. The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) File Formats continue to 
include a Correct Coding Modifier Indicator (CCMI) for the Column One / Column Two Correct Coding edit 
file. This indicator determines whether an NCCI Procedure to Procedure (PTP)-associated modifier causes the 
code pair to bypass the edit. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet 
Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 23, Section 20.9. 
 
The rules say modifiers XE, XS, XP, XU were effective January 1, 2015. These modifiers were developed to 
provide greater reporting specificity in situations where modifier 59 was previously reported and may be used 
in lieu of modifier 59 whenever possible. You can find this information in the National Correct Coding 
Initiative Policy Manual for Medicare Services.

Medicare does not pay for low vision aids. This exclusion includes all devices that use one or more lenses to 
aid vision or magnify images. This rule applies no matter the size, form or technological features of the device. 
This rule does not apply to:  
 
1. post-surgical prosthetic lenses after surgery in which the lens of the eye was removed;  
 
2. prosthetic intraocular lenses (IOLs) and one pair of conventional eyeglasses or contact lenses furnished after 
each cataract surgery with insertion of an IOL: and  
 
3. prosthetic lenses used by those who are lacking the natural lens of the eye and who were not furnished with 
an IOL.  
You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 411.15(b). 
  
Medicare does not pay for eye exams for the purpose of prescribing, fitting, or changing eyeglasses or contact 
lenses for refractive error only. Medicare does not pay for procedures performed in the course of any eye exam 
to determine the refractive state of the eyes. Refractive procedures are not covered even when done in 
connection with otherwise covered diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury. You can find these rules at 42 
CFR Section 411.15(c).
