Documentation Required
- No specific documentation requirements are stated in this Clinical Policy Bulletin.
- The policy explicitly states that diagnostic measurements often used in the context of intermittent IV insulin therapy (respiratory quotient, urine urea nitrogen, arterial/venous/capillary glucose, potassium concentration) are of unproven clinical value in this context and thus are not supported by the policy; documentation of such testing does not make the therapy medically necessary per this policy.
