I am wondering if anyone can help me a little. I am very unfamiliar with home health and my google searches aren't pulling up anything useful.
HCPCS states that G0179 is "...medicare-covered home health services...". Is there a home health code for commercial insurances? We have a claim that was sent to BC/BS and they are denying it.
I found CPT 99509 "Home visit for assistance with activities of daily living and personal care". Would wound care fall under this if that is what the home health services were requested for (some patients have it for this reason)? This is the first commercial claim I have ever come across billing the home health services but I was wondering how to get this one paid and knowledge for future claims, if there are any.
Thanks!
