We are currently only billing that code to Medicare and they have been paying on it.

Yes as well...
Food for thought...
....In several instances reviewers noted the medical record reflected a ‘recertification' rather than initial certification, which should have been billed with CPT code G0179 and not G0180.

We do bill for the G0180 for all that we are managing, we bill with the dos of the certification period. We bill this to Medicare and also some other managed care carriers pay this as well. It has to be documented in the patients record also.

This was a generalized question not to do with vaccines. More for anticoagualtion visits

We have been billing this since 2005. Both the G0180 and G0179. Medicare will pay as will Medicare HMO plans. Ohio Medicaid will not pay as primary but will pick up balance after Medicare.

What place of service do you use for care plan oversight? If you use office, do you use the GV modifier?

I bill this with POS office and if the patient is enrolled in hospice then the GV can be used.

We are billing G0180 to Medicare and 99375 to all other insurances. No problem getting payment.

My question is can you bill G0180 and G0179 when you're in the global period? And if so is it just a form that is filled out and can the PA fill out the form?
