Encounter for fitting and adjustment of insulin pump

This code signifies a patient's visit specifically for the initial setup, programming, or subsequent modification of an existing insulin pump device. It covers the professional services involved in ensuring the pump is correctly calibrated and functioning optimally for the patient's diabetes management.

Apply this code for encounters where the primary purpose is the fitting of a new insulin pump, or the adjustment, reprogramming, or troubleshooting of an already established pump. This includes visits for dose changes, sensor integration, or addressing technical issues with the device itself.

• Always pair this code with a diagnosis code for the underlying diabetes (e.g., E10.x, E11.x).
• Do not use for routine follow-up visits for diabetes management where no pump adjustment occurs.
• Consider procedure codes for the actual services performed (e.g., CPT codes for pump programming or education).
