Independence Blue Cross·Effective Sep 1, 2026

Independence Blue Cross updated policy 05.00.79m effective 09/01/2026 to clarify coverage criteria for insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems. Three HCPCS codes (A9276, A9277, A9278) for non-durable CGM supplies were added to the Not Eligible For Reimbursement section, meaning these sensor, transmitter, and receiver codes will no longer be covered. Billing teams must immediately identify and halt claims for these three codes to prevent denials.
