(such as copayments, deductibles and coinsurance). You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.111(a) and 
(b).

that coinsurance is a fixed percentage of the total amount paid for a health care service that can be charged to 
an enrollee on a per-service basis. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.2.

You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101. 
 
The rules say that proper coding is necessary on Medicare claims because the codes are generally used to 
determine coverage and payment amounts. CMS accepts only Health Insurance Portability and Accountability 
Act (HIPAA) approved International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-
CM) or ICD-10-CM/ICD-10-Procedure Coding System (PCS) codes, depending on the date of service. Use the 
diagnosis code that describes the patients diagnosis, symptom, complaint, condition, or problem. Assign the 
code to the highest level of specificity. The "highest degree of specificity" refers to assigning the most precise 
code that most fully explains the narrative description of the symptom or diagnosis. 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, Sections 10.  
 
The rules say 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 rule in the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and 
Reporting.

The rules say that Medicare pays only for ambulance transport. Ambulance vehicles must be designed and 
equipped to meet certain requirements. The vehicle must have emergency warning lights, sirens, 
communications equipment, a stretcher, linens, emergency medical supplies, oxygen equipment and other life-
saving equipment. The vehicle also must be staffed with two people, one of whom is certified as an emergency 
medical technician. Medicare will not pay for transport by vehicles that do not meet these requirements. You 
can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 410.41(a). 
 
The rules say that plans may offer a supplemental benefit to provide transport not covered by original 
Medicare. The transport offered must be used only for the enrollee's health care needs, such as transport to the 
doctors office. The transport must be arranged or directly provided by the health plan. The transport may not 
be used for other than health-related purposes. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-16, Medicare Managed Care Manual, Chapter 4, Section 30.3.

The rules state that CTP (using automated post-processing software algorithmic analysis) is medically 
reasonable and necessary in patients with small acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by unilateral large vessel 
occlusion (LVO) in the proximal anterior circulation evaluated at stroke centers; CTP can be used to aid in 
selection for endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVT) if 1 of the following other conditions is fulfilled: 
1. Treatment (femoral puncture) can be started within 6-24 hours of the time last known to be at 
neurologic baseline and who meet the pre-CTP inclusion/exclusion criteria as defined by the DAWN 
trial,
 
or 
2. Treatment (femoral puncture) can be started within 6-16 hours of the time last known to be at 
neurologic baseline and who meet the pre-CTP inclusion/exclusion criteria as defined by the DEFUSE 
3 trial.
