All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request; every page must be legible and include patient identification and dates of service.
The medical record must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing care to the patient.
The submitted medical record must support the selected ICD-10-CM code(s) and the submitted CPT/HCPCS code must accurately describe the service performed.
The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports medical necessity for services included in the related LCD, including relevant medical history, physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures.

Continuous intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring provided one-on-one in the operating room (CPT 95940) is covered when it supports the covered indications in LCD L35003.
Report continuous intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring in the operating room (95940) in addition to monitoring services provided from outside the operating room (G0453); coverage includes interpretation of baseline studies and removal of electrodes at the end of the procedure when supporting the LCD indications.
Reimbursement may be made for covered intraoperative monitoring when performed at POS 19, POS 21, POS 22, or POS 24.
Proton beam therapy is covered when the service meets the medical necessity criteria specified in the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and those criteria are documented in the medical record.
Coverage is allowed for targeted genomic sequence analysis panels for treatment of solid organ neoplasms when the panel is a DNA analysis panel containing at least 5 gene tests for molecular biomarkers that meet Medicare coverage criteria.
Coverage is allowed when the genomic testing is expected to influence the treatment of the condition (i.e., documentation supports that test results will affect clinical management of the solid organ neoplasm).
