About G0138: Cipaglucosidase alfa-atga, per 10 mg

Reports the amount of intravenous cipaglucosidase alfa-atga administered as enzyme replacement therapy for adults with late-onset Pompe disease.

G0138 identifies cipaglucosidase alfa-atga, an intravenous enzyme replacement drug used with oral miglustat to treat adults with late-onset Pompe disease. It is typically administered by infusion staff in an outpatient infusion center or hospital outpatient department under a clinician’s treatment plan. The code represents the drug, not the work of administering the infusion.

Select G0138 when the administered product is cipaglucosidase alfa-atga, rather than another Pompe enzyme product. Report units based on the total milligrams administered using the code’s 10-mg unit. Documentation should identify the drug, dose, route, and administration date, with the patient’s weight and prescribed regimen supporting the dose. Report infusion administration separately when supported by the service performed; the drug units and administration service represent distinct claim elements.

G0138 billing questions

How many units should be reported?

G0138 represents 10 mg per unit. Calculate the claim units from the total milligrams administered and document the dose.

Is G0138 the infusion administration code?

No. It reports the drug quantity. Infusion administration may be reported separately when supported by the documented service, using the applicable administration code.

Can G0138 be used for alglucosidase alfa?

No. G0138 is specific to cipaglucosidase alfa-atga. Alglucosidase alfa is a different Pompe enzyme product reported with its own drug code.

What documentation supports the reported units?

Record the product administered and total milligrams given. The treatment plan and patient weight should support the prescribed dose.

Is miglustat included in G0138?

No. G0138 reports cipaglucosidase alfa-atga only; the combination treatment also includes oral miglustat.
