Incorrect Use of HCPCS Code A9279 - Correct Coding

The DME MACs have recently been made aware of the inappropriate use of HCPCS code A9279 (MONITORING FEATURE/DEVICE, STAND-ALONE OR INTEGRATED, ANY TYPE, INCLUDES ALL ACCESSORIES, COMPONENTS AND ELECTRONICS, NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED). A9279 is for the feature/device only, whether incorporated into a piece of DME or a stand-alone device.
