CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 32, § 60.6
Carrier Claims Requirements
Note this test is not covered as durable medical equipment. Therefore, claims submitted to DMERCs will not be paid.
It is covered under the physician fee schedule. Also note that the cost of the device and supplies is included in the
payment for G0249 and therefore not separately billed to Medicare. G0249 continues to include materials for 4 tests.
Additionally, G0250 continues to mean per 4 tests and should be billed no more frequently than once every 4 weeks.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
