A medical assistant is preparing the insurance claim for a patient who uses a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump. The provider ordered a weekly supply kit that includes tubing and catheters to maintain the insulin infusion catheter. Which HCPCS Level II code should be reported for this supply?
HCPCS A4224 specifically describes "supplies for maintenance of insulin infusion catheter, per week," matching the weekly tubing and catheter kit ordered for the patient's insulin infusion pump. E0784 identifies the external insulin pump device, A4209 is a general sterile syringe with needle, and K0553 is the monthly supply allowance for a continuous glucose monitor-none of which describe the weekly insulin-pump maintenance supplies.
