According to JDRF new billing codes for the continuous glucose monitoring systems became effective January 1, 2008. Seperate billing codes are being issued for each component. The codes are : A9276 for the sensor, A9277 for the transmitter, and A9278 for the receiver.
Although many health plans are waiting for the results of studies like JDRF's CGM clinical trial before making a formal decision whether to cover the technology, many are paying for CGM on a case by case basis, and the codes will help facilitate that process.
