The G0179 code will be reported only once every 60 days.
G0181: The physician must bill for no other services than CPO services on the
claim,must bill care planning only once per calendar month, must bill only one
month’s services per line item and must not submit the claim until after the end
of the month in which the service is performed.
CPO claims are calendar month codes, which means they can not exceed the time
allowed in a calendar month. Bill the start date of the first CPO service furnished and the last date CPO services were furnished in a calendar month. Note, CPO services must be billed after the month in which CPO services were provided has ended.
For Example: For the Month of January, CPO services are provided and documented on 1/6/12, 1/9/12, 1/10/12, 1/21/12 and 1/25/12, you would bill the services in February, and enter 1/6/12 – 1/25/12 as the dates of service on the claim. The Plan of care must be signed prior to CPO billing.
