CMS-specific requirements in Medicare billing require what in Resolute?

CMS-specific requirements in Medicare billing require Resolute to enforce distinct CMS edits and coverage policies that are separate from those used by private payers. Medicare operates with its own set of rules—such as NCCI edits and national/local coverage determinations—that dictate when procedures are billable and how codes should be bundled or separated. Because of these payer-specific rules, Resolute must apply CMS-only edits and coverage criteria when processing Medicare claims, rather than assuming the same rules apply to all payers. The other options don’t fit because edits aren’t universal across payers, CMS requirements do affect Resolute, and CMS edits aren’t simply less stringent—they’re simply different from private-payer rules.
