Medicare sets the replacement schedule.
Medicare sets the REIMBURSEMENT schedule, manufacturers recommend the REPLACEMENT schedule.

FTFY

That manufacturers would have inconsistent recommendations (apparently based on the country of use), is maddening and perhaps indefensible.

Manufacturers and insurance companies are loyal only to the bottom line.
Anything they say or do is determined by what is required
and what they can get away with in a given place.
