Question:

When do we report 98975 as opposed to 98976?

Answer:

Code 98975 may be used to report the set-up and patient education on using the device. Code 98976 may be used to report supply of the device for scheduled recordings or programmed alert transmissions. Like RPM, codes 98975 and 98976 are not reported if monitoring is fewer than 16 days. Unlike RPM, data can be self-reported by the patient to the practitioner as opposed to requiring automatic transmission by the device.
