Carrier Claims Requirements

60.6 – Carrier Claims Requirements (Rev. 1562, Issued: 07-25-08, Effective: 03-19-08, Implementation: 08-25-08) 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.
