CGMS Billing Codes
Beginning January 1, 2008 there are billing codes that are specific to CGM usage. They are as follows...

A9276 for the sensor
A9277 for the transmitter
A9278 for the receiver

I just read about these even though they announced it a week ago so I thought I'd pass it on to all since I hadn't seen any. So for those appealing CGM usage, use the above codes.

Thanks for the info, Jedi. If you don't mind, I'm going to pass this information on to the members of another board I belong to.

Hello Every one!

My name is Joe Thura and I just joined to learn and share about controlling diabetes. I am planning to buy a CGMS and would like to know the cost involved and if the insurance pay for it. Does one has to buy sensors and how long a sensor will last? Thank you.

Joe

What MiniMed billed my insurane was $999.00 for the start up kit and $350.00 a month for the sensors.
