In CPT code 82950 Glucose; post glucose dose (includes glucose), please clarify what is meant by "includes glucose." We are not certain whether this is meant to include the cost of the glucola, or if it references the fact that the CPT code includes a fasting glucose determination in addition to the one hour glucose determination.
