CODING, COVERAGE AND PAYMENT
R e i m b u r s e m e n t h a s t h re e co m p o n e n t s : co d i n g, cove r a g e a n d p ay m e n t . This section discusses coding, coverage and payment as it relates to professional CGM.
Coding Coverage Payment
Classifies patient conditions, services, and supplies
Defines products and services that are eligible for payment
Represents the dollar amount(s) paid for services
CODING:
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes provide a uniform language for physicians to bill their services to payors. CPT codes are not technology specific, and are used to describe medical services by healthcare providers in all care settings. There are two CPT codes specific for continuous glucose monitoring, 95250 and 95251. The latest (2009) American Medical Association (AMA) descriptors for these codes are as follows
• 95250: Ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring of interstitial tissue fluid via a subcutaneous sensor for a minimum of 72 hours; sensor placement, hook-up, calibration of monitor, patient training, removal of sensor, and printout of recording
Do not report 95250 more than once per month
1
• 95251: Ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring of interstitial tissue fluid via a subcutaneous sensor for a minimum of 72 hours; interpretation and report
Do not report 95251 more than once per month

REIMBURSEMENT
For Professional CGM, both CPT codes 95250 and 95251 may be billed more than once per patient per year depending on payor coverage. This may apply when it is medically necessary for multiple
Professional CGM evaluations on a patient in a given year. Verify specific coverage criteria directly with the payor.
In 2009, the AMA made several changes to CPT codes 95250 and 95251. The descriptors for these CPT codes changed from “up to 72 hours” to a “minimum of 72 hours”. The second change was the addition of the statement “Do not report more than once per month” to both CPT codes 95250 and 95251. The addition of the statement “Do not report more than once a month” was to clarify that these codes are not to be billed more than once a month per patient.
These coding changes are positive and ensure that the CGM codes continue to reflect prevailing use of the technology. However, coding changes do not obligate payors to increase their coverage for CGM. Payors are NOT obligated to pay for these codes, and payors continue to determine their own frequency limits and coverage criteria for CGM-related services .
CPT CODE 95250
Who can perform and bill CPT code 95250?
Services associated with CPT code 95250 can be performed by any qualified healthcare provider
(consistent with state licensing requirements), including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, certified diabetes educators (CDEs), registered and licensed practical nurses, registered dietitians (RDs), medical assistants (MAs) or laboratory technicians, consistent with state scope of practice laws.
The services associated with CPT 95250 do not have to be performed by a physician or mid-level practitioner. As with other medical services, CPT 95250 can only be billed by a provider contracted with the patient’s health plan.
Physician offices bill CPT 95250 on a standard CMS-1500 claim form. When billed by a mid-level practitioner, the payment is typically 85 percent of the allowable reimbursement for physicians.
Diabetes centers or other facilities that bill on an institutional claim form (UB-92 or UB-04), can bill 95250 under their facility’s billing number.
Although CDEs may have a provider number and perform services associated with 95250 and medical nutritional therapy (MNT) or diabetes self-management education (DSMT), Medicare and most private payors do not recognize a CDE as a provider for the purpose of billing CPT code
95250. If a CDE is employed by an outpatient diabetes center, 95250 would be billed under the diabetes center’s provider number on a UB-92 or UB-04 claim form.
For a sample CMS-1500 and UB-04 claim forms for Professional CGM see Appendix form
Example R02 and R03.

CPT CODE 95251
Who can perform or bill CPT code 95251?
CPT code 95251 is for the interpretation of CGM data and does not need to be performed
face-to-face with the patient. Only a qualified physician or mid-level practitioner can perform the services associated with CPT 95251. If billed under a mid-level practitioner, payment may be slightly lower than for a physician. Although RDs are mid-level practitioners, many payors will not consider a RD for payment for 95251. This varies by state according to state scope of practice laws and by payor. Also, CPT 95251 should not be billed under a diabetes center provider number.
Analysis and interpretation should be clearly documented in the patient’s chart. In addition, it is useful to print professional CGM reports and include them in the patient’s medical record.
The exhibit below provides a summary of who can bill and perform Professional CGM services.

EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT (E/M) CODES:
E/M codes are used for billing face-to-face, non-procedural services. The appropriate level of the E/M code you bill is based on multiple components of time and complexity. The components include history and physical examination, medical decision making, counseling, coordination of care, nature of presenting problem and time. Pursuant to available guidelines, when counseling and/or coordination of care constitute over 50 percent of an encounter, time may be considered the key factor in determining the level of E/M code.
The levels of E/M codes for established patients and the time associated with each are as follows
(there is a comparable series of E/M codes for new patients):
Code
99211
Ti m e
min
All of these codes, except for 99211, must be performed under the direct supervision of a physician (or
mid-level practitioner). Only 99211, the lowest level E/M code, can be performed by a nurse, or other non-physician or non-mid-level practitioner provider.
MODIFIERS:
If you perform evaluation and management services on the same day as services for 95250 and
95251, modifier -25 should be added to the E/M code.
3
The explanation of modifier 25 from the
AMA CPT book is “Significant, Separately Identifiable Evaluation and Management Service by the
Same Physician on the Same Day of the Procedure or Other Service”. CPT codes 95250 or 95251 can be billed on the same day as an E/M code, as long as the E/M services are identifiable, separate, and above and beyond the services provided under code 95250 or 95251. For example, you can bill CPT code 9921x-25 if the physician performed a physical on the same day as an
iPro™ data download (x denotes level of E/M service). Documentation in the patient’s medical record must clearly demonstrate that a separate E/M service was medically necessary.
Note: Please refer to the “Frequently Asked Questions” found in the Appendix for additional details on coding.
DIAGNOSIS CODES:
ICD-9 diagnosis codes define why a service or procedure was performed and the appropriate diagnosis code(s) must be indicated on health care claims. Including the correct ICD-9 code(s) on claims is important, because payors use ICD-9 codes to determine whether the
billed service(s) is medically necessary, and thus is eligible for reimbursement.
Providers should always bill the most specific ICD-9 code possible, specifying a five-digit ICD-9 code whenever possible. If a patient has more than one condition, the healthcare provider should document all conditions in the patient’s medical record and include all of the relevant ICD-9 diagnosis codes on the claim form.
3
When an E/M service is billed by the same provider on the same date of service, the -25 modifier must be used. This modifier is not specific to CGM services.

Pre-
iPro Professional CGM Evaluation
Patients will likely visit your office before being prescribed continuous glucose monitoring as part of their individual quarterly regular visit. If so, there will most likely be a face-to-face visit with the patient and an evaluation and management (E/M) code may be appropriate.
iPro CGM Evaluation (iPro CGM Startup and Data Download)
CPT code 95250 covers the services to insert the sensor on the patient, connect the
iPro Recorder to the sensor, give instructions to the patient, remove the sensor and
iPro Recorder after the evaluation, and download the data. Any qualified healthcare provider (consistent with state licensing requirements) can perform this step. CDEs employed by a diabetes center can perform this procedure and bill under a Diabetes Center provider number. Typically, CPT code 95250 should be billed after downloading the data from the
iPro Recorder, usually after the patient has returned the
iPro Recorder to your office.

REIMBURSEMENT
Interpreting
iPro™ CGM Reports
CPT code 95251 is for analysis and interpreting the data in the
iPro reports. This analysis does not need to be performed face-to-face with the patient. Only an interpretation performed by a physician or a mid-level practitioner such as nurse practitioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA) can be billed under CPT code 95251.
Post
iPro CGM evaluation (therapy recommendations):
Therapy change involves making the clinical decisions and therapy adjustments utilizing the data revealed from the Professional CGM evaluation. This is usually conducted in a face-toface visit with the patient to share the results of the evaluation and discuss therapy options.
Bill this visit with the appropriate E/M code based on complexity of the visit and time spent with the patient.
COVERAGE:
Coverage policies describe which products and services are eligible for payment. Most payors, government and commercial, cover only services that are medically necessary and are not considered experimental or investigational. Payors institute specific coverage policies to ensure appropriate utilization and to control costs.
PRIVATE PAYOR COVERAGE OF PROFESSIONAL CGM
As of mid-2009, the majority of commercial plans have coverage for professional CGM. For example, United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, Anthem WellPoint and most other Blue Cross/Blue
Shield plans have written policies.
For Professional CGM, many private payors have prior authorization requirements. For additional details on the Prior Authorization and Coverage process, please see the Appendix. Prior authorization for CGM may involve a phone call or submission of written documentation to the health plan before the Professional CGM service can be provided to the patient. Use a prior
authorization form (see Appendix form R04) and/ or a prior authorization tracker to track the status
(see Appendix form R06). Once approval is obtained, the appointment is then scheduled.

(Sample Only)
Most private payors cover Professional CGM for specific patient populations, often based on type of diabetes and level of control. It is important to understand the specific coverage
criteria for payors in your area, as each plan may have different criteria for patient selection and billing.
You might want to compile a coverage policy summary table that summarizes relevant coverage
information from your top payors (see Appendix form R07). This can become a handy reference in verifying medical benefits for individual patients. It is a good practice to update coverage information at least quarterly to make sure it reflects any policy changes.
5
The table below is an example of a more detailed coverage policy summary table which includes preauthorization requirements and patient selection criteria. (see Appendix form R07)

Payors update coverage decisions on an ongoing basis, so it is important that you routinely check for changes to coverage decisions and/or payor contracts.

MEDICARE COVERAGE OF PROFESSIONAL CGM
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal government agency that administers the Medicare program, has not established a national coverage policy for Professional
CGM. This means that coverage is determined by each of the local contractors who process Medicare claims. Currently, Professional CGM under CPT codes 95250 and 95251 is payable by Medicare in all 50 states. Only one local coverage policy, which affects the state of Virginia, is currently active for Professional CGM.
6
Local policies change frequently, especially as Medicare transitions to a new format for its local contractors. Therefore, you should always check your local Medicare
contractor’s website to determine the most current policy in place for Professional CGM. The websites for the current Medicare contractors are provided in form R01 (see Appendix).
Your local Medtronic Diabetes representative can also provide Medicare and commercial payor coverage information specific to your diabetes practice.
CLAIMS DENIALS AND APPEALS
Claims denials occur when the payor rejects the claim submitted by a provider. Claims denials can occur for a wide variety of reasons. It is important to understand why the claim was denied and what options are available to re-submit or appeal the claim, as appropriate.
BEST PRACTICES to address possible denials:
If you received a denial for
iPro™ Professional CGM services (based on use of the iPro CGM), the following checklist (pg 11) may help you understand the reason for denial.
6
This policy was established by Trailblazers, the outgoing Medicare contractor for the state of Virginia. The policy specifies that Professional CGM is “intended to supplement self-monitoring data on a one-time or occasional basis. The occasion would be necessitated by poor diabetic control or recurrent hypoglycemia with or without neuroglycopenia. It is anticipated that patients will have proven refractory despite two months of intensive self-monitoring (i.e., 4 x per day self-monitoring via finger stick technique).” The Virginia contract was awarded to a new contractor in January 2009, and the new contractor is not obligated to maintain the existing policy once the transition is complete.

REIMBURSEMENT
POSSIBLE REASONS
Do not understand the denials. No reason given or reason undecipherable
Payor may not have a formal policy for
Professional CGM
Health insurer may require prior-authorization
Patient does not meet criteria established by payor
POSSIBLE ACTION
Contact payor to obtain clarifications:
• Obtain details about why the claim denied
(which may not be clear from the claim denial)
• Learn the appeal options available and timing
and documentation requirements
• Verify that the claim was complete
• Verify that the correct date(s) of service and
provider number were included on the claim
File an appeal clearly delineating the reason that
Professional CGM is medically necessary for the patient.
See Appendix form R09 for a sample letter of medical necessity
Verify which payors in your area require pre-authorization, and always check if it is needed before providing the service
Confirm that diagnosis codes are appropriate.
Ensure that frequency of submissions are within policy limits (e.g., >1 / year). Always verify that a patient meets the payor’s coverage criteria before performing the service
Submit required supporting documentation, including the
Professional CGM tracing, with an appeal letter to validate the need for the service
Payor determines that the service is not medically necessary for the diagnosis (es) submitted
Frequency of submissions could be beyond policy limits (e.g., no greater than
2 times/ year)
E/M code was provided on the same day as 95250 and/or 95251
ICD-9 diagnosis code could flag the procedure as non-covered. Codes
250.00 and 250.01 without complications may be denied
Always verify frequency limits before performing the service. If claims are denied due to frequency, you can still submit an appeal letter to demonstrate the medical necessity of the additional service
Modifier -25 should be added to E/M if billed on same day as 95250/95251 (-25 verifies that the E/M code is a separate and identifiable service)
Verify appropriate ICD-9 diagnosis code with highest level of specificity was billed
PAYMENT:
Payment for services may differ by place of service and type of provider. If CPT code 95250 or 95251 is billed from a “physician office” as the place of service , it is typically paid under the physician fee schedule. A fee schedule assigns a specific payment amount to each CPT code. Medicare and most private payors use fee schedules to pay for physician services.
However, some payors may pay physicians based on billed charges or on a capitated basis.
If 95250 is billed by a hospital-based outpatient diabetes center, the facility will be reimbursed under the payor’s outpatient hospital payment system. Payors use a variety of mechanisms for reimbursing hospital outpatient services. Medicare and some private payors pay for hospital outpatient services based on Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs), which assign services to payment categories. Other private payors pay for hospital outpatient services based on billed charges or according to fee schedules.

BEST PRACTICES to monitor Professional CGM reimbursement :
Many offices find it useful to collect explanations of benefits (EOBs), which are provided by the payor for each claim processed. Many offices find it beneficial to analyze reimbursement rates and levels.
Some practices run quarterly Professional CGM payment collection summary reports (see Appendixx
form R05) that show the utilization of their Professional CGM recorders by office staff and actual payments they received. Utilization data helps the practice to understand future requirements for staffing, space and equipment for Professional CGM services. Annually, a table is generated with net payment received for each Professional CGM evaluation. The data is obtained from the EOB received for each case. The table helps the office understand the average payment they receive for CGM as well as payment levels from each payor. Please see below for an example of the Payment collection summary report. (see Appendix form R05)

Some offices also compare the average payment for Professional CGM procedures as compared to other procedures. An example of the Payment Collection Summary template to use is listed below (see Appendix form R08). It is noted that the average payment and collection rates for CPT code 95250 are very competitive as compared with other diabetes services.
(FORM R08)
(FORM R05)
BEST PRACTICES:
What if the reimbursement amount is lower than expected?
√
Recognize your responsibility for negotiating your practice’s procedural reimbursement rates with the health insurers.
√
Contact the insurance provider to confirm your contracted reimbursement rates for CPT codes 95250 and 95251.
√
Work with your insurance provider to explain the importance of
Professional CGM in your practice.
√
Office may have to wait until contract renewal to negotiate terms.
Make sure office manager and physicians put 95250/95251 on their list of “must negotiate” items to the next contract.

Prior Authorization Process
Keys to Success in Gaining Prior Authorization
The keys to successful prior authorization and appropriate reimbursement from a payor include:
1. Identify a staff member within your practice to coordinate prior authorization and
pre-certification processes with third-party payors
2. Involve the patient and/or family in the prior authorization
process as appropriate
3. Follow the payor’s conditions for coverage. They vary and are very specific.
4. Prepare a clear and concise letter of medical necessity (if necessary)
5. Educate the payor regarding CGM, as needed
Verbal authorization may be given based on the above information. Written authorization is preferred. Whether authorization is verbal or written, obtain an authorization number.
For written authorization, you will need to provide:
• Letter of medical necessity (see Appendix sample letter R09)
• Patient records or provide narrative of patient’s history

Step 2:
Collect information
• Collect all patient, payor and physician information
• Identify all ICD-9 diagnoses and CPT codes
• Letter of medical necessity (see Appendix sample letter R09)
• Patient records (information about the patient’s history may be included in your letter).
Step 3:
Submit Requested and Other Supporting Information
• Gather all requested materials and mail or fax them to the individual or department responsible for the payor’s prior authorization decisions.
• Include a letter of medical necessity for continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which may include:
- Documented glycemic control problems (elevated A1c, frequent hypoglycemia,
- Hospitalizations for hypoglycemia or Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
- Emergency room visits
- Glucagon administrations
- Diabetes complications, whether early or advanced, such as kidney problems , nerve
damage, loss of feeling in feet, and eye problems
• Description of the patient’s treatment plan (e.g. multiple daily injections or insulin pump, and frequency of self monitoring of blood glucose) and a record of adherence to the patient’s care plan.
• Cite the Aetna, CIGNA, Humana, United Healthcare, and WellPoint/Anthem policies covering CGM
• Cite current clinical studies which show CGM improve glycemic control
• Key to success: Continue to follow-up routinely with the payor until a coverage decision has been made.
Step 4:
Re-verify Eligibility
• When prior authorization has been granted, you may want to re-verify the patient’s eligibility to ensure that the patient is still covered by this payor
Step 5:
Appeal (if prior authorization is denied)
• Understand the reason for the denial
• Understand the process for filing an appeal
• Document if your state has a diabetes mandate that may impact coverage for CGM
• Submit your appeal. Send the appeal to the insurance plan within the timeframe outlined by your insurer
• Be prepared and persistent. Seeking case-by-case coverage requires persistence. Make sure to be prepared and keep trying!
• If iPro™ CGM evaluation was completed, you might consider submitting the CGM tracings with the appeal and an explanation of the clinical value of the study and how the patient benefited from the evaluation.
A sample letter of appeal (see Appendix form R10) is provided for your reference only. Please utilize this letter as you see fit in your practice, by revising / supplementing it for your actual cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.
Can you bill an E/M code on the same day as CPT 95250 and/or 95251?
Yes, both CPT 95250 and CPT 95251 can be billed on the same day as an E/M code, so long as a distinct and separate E/M service was provided. When an E/M code is billed by the same provider on the same day as another service, including CPT 95250 or 95251, the modifier -25 must be attached to the E/M code. The definition of the -25 modifier is, "significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management (E/M) service by the same physician on the day of a procedure." Be sure to clearly document both the
iPro™ services and the separate E/M services that were provided in the patient's medical record.
2.
How frequently can
iPro CGM be performed?
iPro CGM should only be performed when the service is medically necessary. The AMA has clarified that CPT codes 95250 and 95251 should not be billed more than once per month per patient.
However, payors are not obligated to cover
iPro once per month. Payors can determine their own frequency limits for
iPro, and payor policies vary. Always verify how frequently the patient's insurance plan covers
iPro prior to performing the service.
3. When should the 95250 be billed (at training/hook-up or at download)?
CPT code 95250 should be billed once all of the components of the code have been performed, including sensor placement, hook-up, calibration of monitor, patient training, removal of sensor, and download/printout of recording. Since the download and printout of the recording is the final step defined within the 95250 code descriptor, appropriate billing would be performed after you have downloaded the data.
4. Who can perform and bill for 95250 and 95251?
95250 can be performed by any qualified health care practitioner, including physicians, mid-level practitioners, and other staff such as RNs, CDEs, and MAs, consistent with state scope of practice laws. 95250 can be billed on a CMS-1500 claim form by a physician or a mid-level practitioner, who is contracted to bill with the plan in question. Diabetes Centers can bill for 95250 on a UB-04/UB-92 claim form.
95251 can only be performed and billed by a physician or qualified mid-level practitioner, such as an NP or PA. Diabetes Centers that bill on a UB-04/UB-92 claim form cannot bill for 95251. Note: 99091 should not be used for Professional CGM report interpretation as 95251 is more specific for this procedure.
