Coverage is subject to the following: The equipment must be necessary and reasonable for the treatment of an illness or injury, or to improve the functioning of a body part. The patient s diagnosis justifies that the equipment or supply being requested is medically necessary. The practitioner s documentation must include the patient s diagnosis, the reason equipment is required and the practitioner s estimate of the duration of its need. Many of the following criteria refer the user to a CMS CGS DME MAC Local Coverage Determination (LCD). Unless otherwise noted, these LCDs are located at Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractor (DME MAC) for Jurisdiction C, can be accessed on the Internet at: Criteria for Diabetic Supplies 1. Home Blood Glucose Monitors (BGM): Prior Authorization is not required. PHP follows CMS DME MAC guidelines in the coverage of blood glucose monitors and related supplies. Only PHP/PIC approved brands for these items are covered. All other monitors require Prior Authorization. Accu-Chek monitors are the preferred

3 Page 3 of 36 product and free to all members with diabetes (no copayment). Members or providers may call the Accu-Chek fulfillment center at to request a meter. CMS DME LCD L33822 details coverage of monitors, supplies and coding requirements, and can be accessed at the CMS website (link above). Please note: CMS LCD L33822 addresses coverage of home blood glucose monitors with special features for the visually impaired or for those with impairment of manual dexterity. These monitors require prior authorization through pharmacy staff. Presbyterian Health Plan (PHP) and Presbyterian Insurance Company (PIC) follows CMS DME MAC guidelines in the coverage of blood glucose monitors (HCPCS Code E0607) and related supplies HCPCS Codes Lancets (code A4259), blood glucose test reagent strips (code A4253), glucose control solutions (code A4256) and spring powered devices for lancets (code A4258) are covered for beneficiaries for whom the glucose monitor is covered only PHP/PIC-approved brands for these items are covered. All other monitors require Prior Authorization. Home blood glucose monitor coverage is limited to patients meeting the following conditions: 1) The patient has been diagnosed as having diabetes mellitus (Type 1 or Type 2), regardless of whether or not the beneficiary is being treated with insulin; AND 2) The patient s physician states that the patient is capable of being trained to use the particular device prescribed in an appropriate manner. In some cases, a responsible individual can be trained to use the equipment and monitor the patient to assure that the intended effect is achieved; AND 3) The device is designed for home rather than clinical use. National Coverage Determination (NCD) for Home Blood Glucose Monitors (40.2) and Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Glucose Monitors (L33822) detail coverage of monitors, supplies and coding requirements and can be accessed at CMS CGS DME MAC website (link above) There is also blood glucose monitoring systems with integrated

4 Page 4 of 36 voice synthesizers, designed especially for use by those with visual impairment (HCPCS Code E2100) and impairment of manual dexterity (HCPCS Code E2101). 2. Insulin pumps, cartridges and reservoirs. Prior Authorization is not required. As required by CMS NCD and LCD L33794 an insulin infusion pump must be ordered and follow-up care rendered by a physician who manages multiple patients on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy and who works closely with a team including nurses, diabetic educators, and dieticians who are knowledgeable in the use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy. Continued coverage of an external insulin pump and supplies requires that the patient be seen and evaluated by the treating physician at least every six months. PHP follows CMS DME MAC guidelines in the coverage of insulin pumps and related supplies. Only PHP/PIC approved brands for these items are covered. (For Medicare members only, insulin used in an insulin pump does not require a copayment. Pharmacy staff must initiate a prior authorization to allow the member to obtain the insulin from one of PHP/PIC s contracted pharmacies.) Presbyterian Health Plan (PHP) and Presbyterian Insurance Company (PIC) follows CMS DME MAC guidelines in the coverage of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pumps and related supplies. Only PHP/PIC-approved brands for these items are covered. All other monitors require Prior Authorization. For Medicare beneficiaries, an insulin infusion pump must be ordered by and follow-up care rendered by a physician who manages multiple patients with CSII therapy and who works closely with a team including clinical nurse specialists, certified nurse practitioners, physician assistants, diabetic educators, clinical pharmacists, licensed nutritionists and registered dieticians, who are knowledgeable in the use of CSII. Continued coverage of an external insulin pump and supplies requires the member to be seen in-person every three (3) months. General CSII Criteria The following general requirements must be met: The patient with diabetes mellitus must be insulinopenic per the update fasting C-peptide testing requirement, or, as an alternative,

5 Page 5 of 36 must be beta cell autoantibody positive. Insulinopenia is defined as a fasting C-peptide level that is less than or equal to 110% of the lower limit of normal of the laboratory s measurement method. For patients with renal insufficiency and creatinine clearance (actual or calculated from age, gender, weight, and serum creatinine) less than or equal to 50 ml/minute, insulinopenia is defined as a fasting C-peptide level that is less than or equal to 200% of the lower limit of normal of the laboratory s measurement method. Fasting C-peptide levels will only be considered valid with a concurrently obtained fasting glucose less than or equal to 225 mg/dl. Levels only need to be documented once in the medical records. Medicare patients must meet either Criterion A or B as follows: Criterion A: The patient has completed a comprehensive diabetes education program, and has been on a program of multiple daily injections of insulin (i.e., at least 3 injections per day), with frequent self-adjustments of insulin doses for at least six (6) months prior to initiation of the insulin pump, and has documented frequency of glucose self-testing an average of at least four (4) times per day during the two (2) months prior to initiation of the insulin pump, and meets one or more of the following criteria while on the multiple daily injections regimen: Glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) > 7.0% History of recurring hypoglycemia Wide fluctuations in blood glucose before mealtimes Dawn phenomenon with fasting blood sugars frequently exceeding 200 mg/dl; or, History of severe glycemic excursions. Criterion B: The patient with diabetes mellitus has been on a pump prior to enrollment in Medicare and has documented frequency of glucose self-testing an average of at least four (4) times per day during the month prior to Medicare enrollment.

6 Page 6 of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS). Examples of covered systems include Animas, DexCom, Minimed, Smiths Medical MD and FreeStyle Navigator. Only PHP/PIC approved brands are covered. Prior Authorization is required. In an effort to maintain blood glucose levels near the normal range, a diabetic patient frequently self-monitors blood glucose. However, frequent monitoring may not detect significant deviations in blood glucose, particularly for those diabetics with rapidly fluctuating glucose levels, glucose levels that fluctuate in the night or those who experience hypoglycemic unawareness. In addition, intensive insulin therapy places diabetic patients at higher risk for episodes of severe hypoglycemia. CGMS have been developed to detect trends and track patterns in glucose levels, information that can then be used to optimize insulin therapy and potentially improve glycemic control. There are several systems currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for continuous glucose monitoring purposes. These systems utilize sensor devices, which extract glucose from the interstitial fluid, and then measure and display the glucose in real-time, making it available to the patient as often as every five minutes. These readings are intended to supplement, not replace, information obtained from standard home glucose monitoring devices. An individual with diabetes mellitus frequently self-monitors blood glucose levels. Frequent monitoring may not detect significant deviations in blood glucose levels, particularly for those individuals with rapidly fluctuating glucose levels, glucose levels that fluctuate in the night or those who experience hypoglycemic unawareness. Intensive insulin therapy places these individuals at higher risk for episodes of severe hypoglycemia. CGMS have been developed to detect trends and track patterns in glucose levels, information that can then be used to optimize insulin therapy and potentially improve glycemic control. Two types CGMS have been developed. One system is designed for short term trending of blood glucose levels, (codes: A9276, A9277, A9278). These blood glucose readings are intended to supplement, not replace, information obtained from standard home glucose monitoring devices. A second system is designated as therapeutic CGM (HCPCS Code K0554) for long term blood glucose monitoring, and is designed to replace the need for finger-stick blood glucose determinations. A device must be Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding (PDAC)-certified as a therapeutic CGM to be utilized as

7 Page 7 of 36 such. When a therapeutic CGM (code K0554) is covered, the related supply allowance (code K0553) is also covered. K0553 must not be used for supplies used with CGM coded as A9278. Therapeutic CGMs and related supplies are covered when the following coverage criteria are met: 1) The beneficiary has diabetes mellitus (see list of covered diagnoses); and, 2) The beneficiary has been using a blood glucose monitor (BGM) and performing frequent (four or more times a day) testing; and, 3) The beneficiary is insulin-treated with multiple (three or more) daily injections of insulin or a Medicare-covered continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump; and, 4) The beneficiary s insulin treatment regimen requires frequent adjustment by the beneficiary on the basis of BGM or CGM testing results; and, 5) 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 (1-4) above are met; and, 6) 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. Therapeutic CGMS are covered with a specific written order prior to the delivery for specified HCPCS codes. The order must be initiated by a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or clinical nurse specialist. A pharmacist clinician, working in conjunction with one of the ordering providers, can also order therapeutic CGMS and related supplies. When a therapeutic CGM (HCPCS Code K0554) is covered, the related supply allowance (HCPCS Code K0553) is also covered. National Coverage Determination (NCD) for Home Blood Glucose Monitors NCD (40.2) and Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Glucose Monitors (L33822) detail coverage of monitors, supplies and coding requirements and can be accessed at CMS CGS DME MAC website (link above)

8 Page 8 of Therapeutic shoes and inserts for individual with diabetes. Prior Authorization is not required. PHP follows CMS DME MAC guidelines in the coverage of therapeutic shoes for diabetics. CMS DME MAC LCD L33369 details coverage and coding requirements. can be accessed at CMS. The Prescribing Practitioner is the person who actually writes the order for the therapeutic shoe, modifications and inserts. This practitioner must be knowledgeable in the fitting of diabetic shoes and inserts. The prescribing practitioner may be a podiatrist, M.D., D.O., physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist. The prescribing practitioner may be the supplier (i.e., the one who furnishes the footwear). Therapeutic shoes, inserts and/or modifications to therapeutic shoes are covered if all of the following criteria are met: 1. The beneficiary has diabetes mellitus (Reference diagnosis code section below); AND 2. The certifying practitioner has documented in the beneficiary's medical record one or more of the following conditions: AND a. Previous amputation of the other foot, or part of either foot, or b. History of previous foot ulceration of either foot, or c. History of pre-ulcerative calluses of either foot, or d. Peripheral neuropathy with evidence of callus formation of either foot, or e. Foot deformity of either foot, or f. Poor circulation in either foot; 3. The certifying practitioner has certified that indications (1) and (2) are met and that he/she is treating the beneficiary under a comprehensive plan of care for his/her diabetes and that the

9 Page 9 of 36 beneficiary needs diabetic shoes. For claims with dates of service on or after 01/01/2011, the certifying practitioner must: a. Have an in-person visit with the beneficiary during which diabetes management is addressed within 6 months prior to delivery of the shoes/inserts; and b. Sign the certification statement (refer to the Policy Specific Documentation Requirements section below) on or after the date of the in-person visit and within 3 months prior to delivery of the shoes/inserts. 4. Prior to selecting the specific items that will be provided, the supplier must conduct and document an in-person evaluation of the beneficiary. (Refer to the Policy Specific Documentation Requirements section below.) 5. At the time of in-person delivery to the beneficiary of the items selected, the supplier must conduct an objective assessment of the fit of the shoe and inserts and document the results. A beneficiary s subjective statements regarding fit as the sole documentation of the in-person delivery does not meet this criterion. If criteria 1-5 are not met, the therapeutic shoes, inserts and/or modifications will be denied as non-covered. (see Policy Specific Documentation Requirements section below), they will be denied as non-covered. Coverage Limitations For beneficiaries meeting the coverage criteria, coverage is limited to one of the following within one calendar year (January December): One pair of custom molded shoes (A5501) (which includes inserts provided with these shoes) and 2 additional pairs of inserts (A5512, A5513, or K0903); OR One pair of depth shoes (A5500) and 3 pairs of inserts (A5512, A5513, or K0903) (not including the non-customized removable inserts provided with such shoes). A modification of a custom molded or depth shoe may be covered as a substitute for an insert. Although not intended as a comprehensive list, the following are the most common shoe modifications: rigid rocker
