The PPACA does NOT apply to any Medicare program or insurance coverage. Medicare is NOT part of the PPACA. Medicare is the old-age social insurance program for those 65 and up. If you mean Medicaid (the health care coverage for poor people), the PPACA does not specify such details. Medicaid is administered by the states, with certain funding and general requirements coming from the Federal government. The details of required procedures to be followed for payment are up to individual states to decide upon. So, in that context, you will have to ask your state's Medicaid program about this issue.
