In the Case of Maxxim Care, EMS February 25, CMS or its contractor must use a statistically valid methodology for sampling and extrapolation, not necessarily the most precise methodology that might be devised.
February 22, in a probe review, contractors collect overpayments only on claims that are actually reviewed and may not extrapolate the overpayment to a universe of claims pursuant to the MPIM. In the Case of KGV Easy Leasing Corporation February 22, beneficiary information submitted that does not indicate that the referring physician was the treating physician, that the treating physician used results from diagnostic tests in managing the patient, or present a complete clinical picture of the medical conditions that presumptively warranted the testing fails to demonstrate that the claims were medically reasonable and necessary for the purposes of Medicare coverage.
In the Case of Mid South Psychiatric Associates December 23, the fact that the appellant filed individual requests for ALJ hearing, rather than discussing the basis for re-adjudicating sampled claims in one submission, does not require that the appellant seek aggregation of those claims in order to exercise appeal rights of an extrapolated overpayment.
In the Case of Lakeside Foot Clinic October 15, in a case arising from an overpayment based on statistical sampling, an appellant must be given an opportunity to challenge both the findings on the individual services reviewed in the sample and the sampling methodology and extrapolation.

September 14, the appellant does not challenge the validity of the statistical sample or the extrapolation methodology but instead focuses the appellate arguments on the individual claims for home health services.

December 11, because the drug prescribed for the enrollee's autoimmune conditions is for an off-label use and is not supported in a compendia for treatment of any of the conditions with which the enrollee is diagnosed, it is not a covered Medicare Part D drug. In the Case of V. October 8, the prescribed drug qualifies for a exception and is eligible for Part D coverage as compendia recognized as an authoritative source for determining coverage status of prescription drugs includes the prescribed drug as a grandfathered drug that was marketed for the prescribed use prior to the enactment of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of and therefore has technically never been "approved" by the Food and Drug Administration.
Physician Service Claims Cases involving coverage requirements for physician services such as medical documentation requirements. In the Case of Marc E. Umlas, M.

In the Case of Health Spring, Inc. November 16, The MOA is not bound to cover the non-emergency oncology and laboratory services provided by an out-of-network physician where there was no evidence that the enrollee sought a referral or authorization from the MOA to see an out-of-network physician.

In the Case of Memorial Long Beach July 23, a contractor's decision on whether to reopen and whether the contractor met the good cause standards for reopening are not subject to administrative review by ALJs or the Council but lie within CMS's evaluation and monitoring of the contractor's performance.
In the Case of Holy Cross Hospita l May 13, Section b of the Social Security Act creates a rebuttable presumption of no fault on a provider's part where an overpayment determination is made subsequent to the third year in which payment notice was issued; section c applies to a wavier of overpayments made to a beneficiary, not a provider. Francis Memorial Hospital May 7, only the year of the payment and the year it was found to be an overpayment are considered for calculating the three-year calendar period, not the day and month.
In the Case of Valley Presbyterian Hospital July 29, while the RAC's decision to reopen the claim at issue is not subject to review by the ALJ and the Council, the assessed overpayment is not valid as the evidence of record supports payment for the provided inpatient rehabilitation facility services.
In the Case of Baptist Health Care June 26, limitation of liability under section of the Social Security Act is not appropriate as the provider had knowledge that Medicare would not pay for the services based on the fact CMS had issued relevant manuals, bulletins, and written guidelines; performance of post payment review itself did not constitute knowledge of noncoverage of services provided and billed for prior to the assessment of the overpayment.
Skilled Nursing Facility Claims Cases involving coverage requirements for skilled nursing facility services such as notification and medical documentation requirements. In the Case of Estate of B. In the Case of Commissioner, Connecticut Department of Social Services November 21, an Expedited Determination generic notice by itself provides insufficient notice in a situation where all Medicare-covered services are ending but the provider intends to deliver non-covered care.

In the Case of Elmhurst Care Center September 29, certification of the necessity for skilled services on an inpatient basis in a skilled nursing facility may be contained in progress notes, orders, or other documents that have been signed by the physician, not just in a separate form.
