Home care for Medicaid patients

We bill for our Medicare patients g0180 and g0179, but i'd like to know which are the codes for home care for Medicaid patients, since these gcodes are not allowed with new jersey Medicaid.

i appreciate any input on this matter.

thank you.

re: HOME CARE FOR MEDICAID PATIENTS

This is the only established code for care plan oversight of a home care patient. The existence of a code does not mean that the insurer will cover it. The only way to get paid for the service is to either go to the patient home or see the patient in the office and bill for the visit that includes reviewing the plan. If you time coordinating and reviewing exceeds 50%, you can use time based coding.
