Sec. 405.207  Services related to a noncovered device.

    (a) When payment is not made. Medicare payment is not made for 
medical and hospital services that are related to the use of a device

or because it is excluded from coverage for other reasons. These 
services include all services furnished in preparation for the use of a 
noncovered device, services furnished contemporaneously with and 
necessary to the use of a noncovered device, and services furnished as 
necessary after-care that are incident to recovery from the use of the 
device or from receiving related noncovered services.
    (b) When payment is made. Medicare payment may be made for services, 
ordinarily covered by Medicare, to treat a condition or complication 
that arises
