Instead a denial of inpatient Ancillary Services must be based on the Medical Necessity of the specific Ancillary Service. In determining the Medical Necessity of an Ancillary Service performed on a denied hospitalization day, consideration must be given to the necessity of providing the Ancillary Service in the acute setting for each day in question.
