New Home Health HCPCS Codes

The final rule for the Home Health PPS 2011 changes added new HCPCS codes for home health providers to report when billing physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), speech-language pathology (SLP) and skilled nursing (SN) services.

CMS has released their new HCPCS file at the following link:

http://www.cms.gov/HCPCSReleaseCodeSets/ANHCPCS/itemdetail.asp?filterType=none&filterByDID=-99&sortByDID=1&sortOrder=descending&itemID=CMS1240961&intNumPerPage=10

The HCPCS Code range for Home Health services is G0151-G0164

If you are providing any of the services that have HCPCS code changes – you will need to update your service codes in HHC3000 before billing for any Medicare claims with a M0090 date of January 1, 2011 or newer.
