G0121 Non Medicare Screen

[dimme85]

I've gotten conflicting information on using a G0121 for a non-Medicare patient when doing a screening. We have always use the 45378 and the screening dx. How is everyone else coding screenings for this patient population?

 

[ASC CODER]

non Medicare

45378 screening dx


If ( and I have not had this happen yet) a payor would ask for the G code then I would bill the G code for just that payor

The practice I work for uses the G codes for everyone except UHC and Medicaid (surprisingly). They worked the codes into the contracts.
