(Rev. 10190; Issued: 06-19-2020; Effective: 01-01-2020; Implementation: 07-01-

The DME MACs shall develop the capability to track ADMC requests in order to assure
that decisions are rendered in a timely and appropriate fashion. DME MACs shall also
develop the capability to ensure that: 1) items for which an affirmative ADMC decision
was made are not denied as not meeting the medical necessary requirements of the
policy, and 2) claims for item that received a negative ADMC decision are denied as not
covered, unless additional medical documentation submitted with the claims supports
coverage.
