 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 medically necessary services are those that are reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury. Medically necessary services include services to improve the functioning of a malformed body member. You can find this rule in the Social Security Act, Section 1862(a)(1)(A).  The rules say that pharmacogenomics (PGx) tests are indicated when medications are being considered for use (or already being administered) that are medically necessary, appropriate, and approved for use in the patient's condition and are known to have a gene(s)-drug interaction that has been demonstrated to be clinically actionable as defined by the FDA (PGx information required for safe drug administration) or Clinical Pharmacogenetic Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guidelines (category A and B). The selection of the medications in question must be derived from clinical factors/necessity rather than from a PGx test. 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. You can find this rule in the Local Coverage Determination for Molecular Diagnostics Service Program (MolDX): Pharmacogenomics Testing, L38394 (eff 08/03/20).
