Good Morning!

HCPCS Code C9803 Covid Specimen Collection Fee for Outpatient Services has been deleted as of 01/01/2024. Is there a replacement for this code or is it no longer being reiumbursed?

Thank you!!!
 
This question was recently posted, here is a copy of my response to it:

According to the Federal Register regarding the OPPS & ASC payment system final rule for CY 2024 C9803 was deleted effective 12/31/23 and was not replaced for 2024 because it was intended to help offset the costs to HOPD during the PHE and once the PHE ended they decided it was no longer necessary to help offset costs for HOPDs and instead of terminating the code when the PHE ended in May 2023 they decided to delete the code on 01/01/24. I linked the federal register specific to the 2024 CY OPPS & ASC payment systems here and below is the actual info about C9803.
