  1. 95250
  2. 95251, 99091

Explanation
Answer: C - The correct for the endocrinology service located in the medicine section that allows for the ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring of interstitial tissue fluid (includes the physician’s reading and interpretation of the report’s findings over a 72-hour period) is 95251. Code 95250 is used for the above procedure, but just for the recording of the findings without interpretation and report of the findings by a physician. It is stated that code 99091 should not be used with either 95250 or 95251.
