Home Health Cert.

Can I use the G0180 & G0179 for Home Health Certification & Recert for non Medicare or is there a code for that? Help. Thanks!

re: Home Health Cert.

CPT® does not include codes for certification and recertification of home health services. G0179 (recertification) and G0180 (certification) were created specifically for billing Medicare-covered home health services provided as part of a home health care plan, including physicians' contacts with the home health agency and review of patient status reports. Some private payers may cover similar services using these codes; others may consider them to be part of care plan oversight, which is billed with CPT® codes 99374-99375
