Hi,
I have a question regarding PT, OT, Speech therapy procedure coding for Home Health. Our Medi-Cal HMO is going from local codes to national codes (they are still in the process of figuring out how they are going to do this--I am just trying to be proactive). In all my years of coding, I haven't had to code procedure codes for therapies. We use the G0154 (SN), G0151 (PT), G0152 (OT), G0153 (Speech), and G0155 (MSW) and enter the units. I won't be doing the billing, just the diagnosis coding and TAR submission. The EMR we use had issues even setting up the Medi-Cal HMO (they said they had never heard of such a thing! When I lived in Missouri, where they are based, Missouri was in the process of setting up Medi-cal HMO, but that was a few years ago.) I want to make sure I do it right. Is there a good resource that I can go to? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
