Which code do you bill for doing a finger stick, & checking the blood glucose in the office using a home glucose monitoring device?
 
82962 - Glucose, blood by glucose monitoring device(s) cleared by the FDA specifically for home use

Lay Description

This test is used to monitor disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. This test reports blood glucose monitoring by an FDA-approved device. While the code states that it is for home use, these devices may also be used in the physician office. Blood is obtained by finger stick. Method is enzymatic, electrochemical, or spectrophotometry by small portable device designed for home glucose testing.
 
Some insurances are denying 82962 stating not a covered service so my question is should we be billing 82947 instead.... what exactly is the difference?
