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 an expandable controller is capable of accommodating one or more of the following 
additional functions: 
 
- Other types of proportional input devices (e.g., mini-proportional or compact joysticks, touchpads, chin 
control, head control, etc.) 
- Non-proportional input devices (e.g., sip and puff, head array, etc.) 
- Operate 3 or more powered seating actuators through the drive control. (Note: Control of the power seating 
actuators though the Control Input Device would require the use of an additional component, E2310 or E2311.) 
An expandable controller may also be able to operate one or more of the following: 
- A separate display (i.e., for alternate control devices) 
- Other electronic devices (e.g., control of an augmentative speech device or computer through the chair's drive 
control) 
- An attendant control 
 
For power wheelchairs which are capable of being upgraded to an expandable controller (K0835, K0836, 
K0837, K0838, K0839, K0840, K0841, K0842, K0843, K0848, K0849, K0850, K0851, K0852, K0853,

K0871, K0877, K0878, K0879, K0880, K0884, K0885, K0886, K0890, K0891), E2377 is used if an 
expandable controller is provided at the time of initial issue. Code E2376 is used with complete replacement of 
an expandable controller. 
 
A harness (E2313) describes all of the wires, fuse boxes, fuses, circuits, switches, etc. that are required for the 
operation of an expandable controller. It also includes all the necessary fasteners, connectors, and mounting 
hardware. Code E2313 is separately billable in addition to an expandable controller both at initial issue and 
with complete replacement of the expandable controller. Code K0108 must not be used for any component or 
feature of an expandable controller at the time of initial issue. The reimbursement for any type of complete 
expandable controller is included in the allowance for codes E2377/E2376 plus E2313. However, if individual components of the harness are replaced, code K0108 should be used.

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 
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 state that the following describe the types of ambulators: 
K0 - Lower limb extremity prosthesis functional Level 0 - Does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or 
transfer safely with or without assistance and a prosthesis does not enhance their quality of life or mobility 
 
K1 - Lower extremity prosthesis functional Level 1 - Has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers 
or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence. Typical of the limited and unlimited household ambulator. 
 
K2 - Lower extremity prosthesis functional Level 2 - Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability 
to traverse low level environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs, or uneven surfaces. Typical of the limited 
community ambulator. 
 
K3 - Lower extremity prosthesis functional Level 3 - Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable 
cadence. Typical of the community ambulator who has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and 
may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple 
locomotion. 
 
K4 - Lower extremity prosthesis functional Level 4 - Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that 
exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting high impact, stress, or energy levels. Typical of the prosthetic 
demands of the child, active adult, or athlete.  
 
You can find this rule in the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Lower Limb Prostheses, L33787. 
 
 
 The rules state that when submitting a prosthetic claim, the billed code for knee, foot, ankle and hip (HCPCS 
code L5973) components must be submitted with modifiers K0 - K4, indicating the expected beneficiary 
functional level. This expectation of functional ability information must be clearly documented and retained in 
the prosthetist's records. The simple entry of a K modifier in those records is not sufficient. There must be 
information about the beneficiarys history and current condition which supports the designation of the 
functional level by the prosthetist.

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?
