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 to qualify for portable oxygen, the patient must meet the criteria for home oxygen. Patients 
who are mobile in the home and would benefit from the use of portable oxygen in the home, may qualify for 
coverage of a portable oxygen system either by itself, or to use in addition to a stationary oxygen system. You 
can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-
03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Section 240.2 (D). 
 
The rules say that oxygen is coverable when medically necessary for patients with acute or chronic conditions, 
short- or long- term, when the patient exhibits hypoxemia. Patients exhibiting hypoxemia are defined using the 
clinical criteria below.  
 
1. Arterial PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) at or below 55 mm Hg or arterial O2 (oxygen) saturation at or 
below 88% on room air, at rest; 
 
2. Arterial PO2 at or below 55 mm Hg or arterial O2 saturation at or below 88% on room air, taken during 
sleep for patients who have hypoxia symptoms during sleep; 
 
3. Arterial PO2 at or below 55 mm Hg or arterial O2 saturation at or below 88%, taken during exercise for 
patients who have hypoxia symptoms during exercise; 
 
4. Arterial PO2 between 56 and 59 mmHg and arterial O2 saturation is 89% on room air if there is evidence of 
dependent edema, pulmonary hypertension, or erythrocythemia. 
 
In reviewing the arterial PO2 levels and the arterial oxygen saturation percentages specified above, variations 
in oxygen measurements that may result from such factors as the patient's age, the patients skin pigmentation, 
the altitude level, or the patient's decreased oxygen carrying capacity, must be taken into account.  
 
For patients who do not exhibit hypoxemia according to the above criteria, oxygen may be coverable when 
medically reasonable and necessary for patients who do not have a non-covered indication.  
 
You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 
100-03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Sections 240.2.

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.

The rules say that for all beneficiaries receiving HH services in 2021 whose services will continue in 2022, the 
home health agency (HHA) shall submit a Notice of Admission (NOA) with a one-time, artificial 'admission' 
date corresponding to the "From" date of the first period of continuing care in 2022. For example, if a period of 
care begins in 2021 and ends on January 10, 2022, the HHA submits and NOA with an admission date of 
January 11, 2022, and then submits a claim when the 30-day period of care is over. The HHA should submit 
the January 11, 2022, admission date on all subsequent claims until the beneficiary is discharged and another 
NOA is required. This is to ensure the claim is matched to the correct NOA and the correct receipt date is used 
for payment. You can find this information in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet-Only 
Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 10, Section 10.1.10.3.

  The rules say that molecular diagnostic laboratory tests must undergo an application and technical assessment 
process through the Molecular Diagnostics (MolDX) contractor. MolDX will review all new test/assay clinical 
information to determine if a test meets Medicares reasonable and necessary requirement. Labs must submit a 
comprehensive dossier on each new test/assay prior to claim submission. MolDX will only cover and 
reimburse tests that demonstrate analytical and clinical validity, and clinical utility at a level that meets the 
Medicare reasonable and necessary requirement. This rule requires that all tests that are approved by this 
process be assigned a unique test identifier from the DEXTM Diagnostics Exchange. Only approved tests will be 
reimbursed consistent with the effective date of the coverage determination. You can find this rule in the Local 
Coverage Determination (LCD): MolDX: Molecular Diagnostic Tests (MDT) (L35160) and the related Local 
Coverage Article: Billing and Coding: MolDX: Molecular Diagnostic Tests (MDT) (A57526).
