The rules state that therapeutic continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and related supplies are covered by 
Medicare when all of the following coverage criteria are met: 
  1. The beneficiary has diabetes mellitus, 
  2. The beneficiary is insulin-treated with multiple (three or more) daily administrations of insulin or a 
Medicare-covered continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump, 
  3. The beneficiarys insulin treatment regimen requires frequent adjustment by the beneficiary on the basis of 
BGM or CGM testing results, 
  4. Within six (6) months prior to ordering the CGM, the treating practitioner has an in-person visit with the 
beneficiary to evaluate their diabetes control and determined that criteria (1-3) above are met; and, 
  5. Every six (6) months following the initial prescription of the CGM, the treating practitioner has an in-
person visit with the beneficiary to assess adherence to their CGM regimen and diabetes treatment plan.

The rules say that all claims for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetic, and Orthotic Supplies (DMEPOS) 
require a written order/prescription from the treating practitioner. The supplier must keep the order and proof of 
delivery documentation on file. All services that do not have appropriate proof of delivery will be denied. The 
supplier should also obtain as much documentation from the patients medical record as they determine they 
need to assure themselves that coverage criteria for an item have been met. If the information in the patients 
medical record does not adequately support the medical necessity for the item, the supplier is liable for the 
dollar amount involved unless a properly executed Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) of possible denial has 
been obtained. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only 
Manual, Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 5, Sections 5.2.1, 5.9 and 5.10.

        Heart failure, or 
        Significant atherosclerotic vascular disease elsewhere in the body (e.g., carotid obstructive disease, 
peripheral vascular disease involving the lower extremities, or abdominal aortic aneurysm. 
     Has a metabolic disorder known to cause CAD: 
        Diabetes mellitus, 
        Syndrome X, or 
        Atherogenic hypercholesterolemia. 
    Has an abnormal electrocardiographic monitoring (ECG) consistent with CAD. 
        Needs an evaluation for progression of CAD with the potential for a change in treatment: 
        Following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery; 
        Following a myocardial infarction (MI); 
        Following a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), atherectomy, intracoronary 
thrombolysis, or other coronary revascularization procedure; 
        Following medical treatment to reverse or stabilize CAD; or 
        For a history of a coronary artery ischemic event without symptoms (e.g., a prior silent MI). 
    Needs an evaluation as part of a preoperative assessment when intermediate- or high-risk for CAD is present 
and surgery is likely to induce significant cardiac stress. 
    Needs an evaluation when information from the clinical assessment does not adequately assess functional 
capacity when such information is needed to manage the patient (e.g., for a patient with angina to assess the 
level of exercise tolerance for treatment planning). 
 
The rules say that the medical necessity for use of radionuclide imaging must be independently documented in 
the medical records. There needs to be assurance that there is sufficient evidence that the testing is reasonable 
and necessary. 
 
 The rules say that typically, a patient will not require both a stress echocardiogram and a stress nuclear test for 
the same clinical problem.
