What 95249 covers

This service covers clinic setup and training for a continuous glucose monitor the patient supplies. Staff prepare the device, place and connect the sensor, calibrate the monitor as needed, teach the patient how to use it, and provide a data printout. It is used for patients with diabetes who are starting or receiving instruction on personal CGM equipment, commonly in endocrinology or diabetes-care practices.

Report 95249 when the patient’s own equipment is used and the monitoring period meets the 72-hour minimum. Documentation should support the patient-provided device, sensor setup, training performed, monitoring duration, and resulting printout. CMS identifies this as a technical-component-only service; report the separate interpretation code when analysis and a report are performed. Do not use this setup code for clinic-provided equipment, which is described by 95250.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

95249 billing questions

How is 95249 different from 95250?

95249 is for setup and training using the patient’s own CGM equipment. Use 95250 when the equipment is provided by the physician or qualified health professional.

Does 95249 include interpretation of the CGM data?

No. CMS identifies 95249 as technical-component-only; the separate interpretation and report are covered by 95251 when performed.

What documentation supports reporting 95249?

Document that the patient supplied the equipment, the sensor and monitor setup and training performed, the monitoring period of at least 72 hours, and the resulting printout.

Can 95249 and 95251 be reported together?

They may be reported for the same patient when the setup service and a separate analysis, interpretation, and report are performed and documented.

Is 95249 reported for fewer than 72 hours of monitoring?

The service is defined for monitoring of at least 72 hours. The record should support that duration.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
