Point of Care Hemoglobin A1c Testing - CPT Codes 83036 & 83037 by:Charles Root ( [email protected] ) The following two codes are now available for testing A1C in a point-of-care setting: 83036 Hemoglobin; glycosylated (A1c), and 83037 Hemoglobin; glycosylated (A1c) by device cleared by the FDA for home use Since devices cleared for home use are also classified as CLIA waived, in many cases the code will include the -QW modifier. Glycated hemoglobin/protein testing is widely accepted as medically necessary for the management and control of diabetes. It is also valuable to assess hyperglycemia, a history of hyperglycemia or dangerous hypoglycemia. The existing Medicare National Coverage Determination (NCD) for Glycated Hemoglobin/Glycated Protein (190.21) includes detailed information on frequency limitations and diagnosis (ICD-9) codes pertaining to CPT code 83036. As of July 1, 2006, the NCD onlypertained toCPT 83036, however, several Medicare carriers haverecently stated that 83037 will be subject to the same diagnosis and frequency parameters as CPT code 83036. We believe it is only a matter of time until the NCD is updated to include CPT code 83037 as well as 83036. Which Code to Report for Point of Care Testing CPT code 83037 is expected to be reported for tests performed in a physician's office using a device cleared by the FDA for home use, such as a single use test kit with a self-contained analyzer and reporting screen. However, CPT code 83036 may also be reported by a physician's office or or other point-of-care facility using a device NOT approved by the FDA for home use, such as a desk top analyzer. CPT code 83037 mayNOT be reported when the test is performed using a desk top analyzer or other device not approved by the FDA for home use.Carriers will c Continue reading >>
