What are Home Health Services?
Some illnesses and injuries have a long recovery time, lasting months or years. In such cases, healthcare providers recommend home health services for the patient. These services ensure that the patient continues to receive quality healthcare outside of the hospital, in the comfort of his home, and at significantly lower costs compared to inpatient treatment and services.
Medicare Part A and B cover some home health services, given that the patient is home-bound and needs intermittent or part-time skilled nursing services. These usually include rehabilitation services, therapeutic services, durable medical equipment (DME), and constant health monitoring.
Medicare-certified home health agencies are allowed to provide home health services. Registering and getting approved by Medicare ensures strict adherence to rules and regulations, including accurate coding and billing. If you are a Medicare-approved home health agency, you may render the following services to your patients:
- Wound care for surgical wounds or pressure sores
- Serious illness and unstable health monitoring
- Patient and caregiver education
- Nutrition therapy, including tube feeding
- Physical/occupational/speech-language therapy (e.g., help with walking, talking, bathing, feeding, etc.)
- Injections
- Medical social services
- Medical supplies for use at home, including DME
- Disposable negative pressure wound therapy devices
Most Common Home Health CPT Codes
Home health services typically include skilled nursing care and physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Therefore, these services and supplies are mostly covered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) copyrighted HCPCS code sets. However, some Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes cover home health services, which we will discuss in detail below.
Home Health CPT Codes for Home Visits & Patient Monitoring
The following home health CPT codes cover scheduled visits to the patient’s home for a myriad of services, like pregnancy and newborn care, assistance with activities of daily living, stoma maintenance, hemodialysis, and respiratory therapy.
CPT Code 99500 – Home Visit for Prenatal Monitoring and Assessment
This home-health CPT code is used when a healthcare provider or registered nurse visits a pregnant woman’s home to monitor the mother and fetus’s health, perform the necessary examinations, and identify/address complications, such as low blood pressure, anemia, or slow fetal growth.
CPT Code 99502 – Home Visit for Newborn Care and Assessment
In case of giving birth at home or during postpartum care, a registered nurse may visit the mother and her newborn baby to monitor their health and impart education on newborn care. This will be reported by home health CPT code 99502.
CPT Code 99503 – Home Visit for Respiratory Therapy Care
When patients experience breathing difficulties or are battling lung disorders, a licensed respiratory therapist visits the patient’s home and provides respiratory therapy. This may include oxygen therapy, apnea evaluation, respiratory assessment, or giving the patient a bronchodilator.
CPT Code 99505 – Home Visit for Stoma Care and Maintenance
Some patients require a surgically created opening to pass waste (urine and stool) from their bodies. Birth defects or conditions like cancer, trauma, or inflammatory bowel diseases compel the healthcare provider to remove a part of the bladder or bowel and create an artificial opening known as a stoma.
A qualified healthcare provider may have to visit the patient’s home for effective care and maintenance of the stoma. When this happens, home health CPT code 99505 is reported.
CPT Code 99506 – Home Visit for Intramuscular Injections
Home health CPT code 99506 reports an injection that was administered intramuscularly by a qualified healthcare provider. For example, a registered nurse administers it on the order of the primary physician. Again, the Place of Service (POS) code with this CPT code will be 12 to denote that the service was rendered at the patient’s home.
CPT Code 99509 – Home Visit of Assistance with ADL and Personal Care
Patients with limited mobility, cognitive impairment, or musculoskeletal conditions need assistance with activities of daily living (ADL), such as help with personal hygiene, housekeeping, and feeding. So, when a qualified home health provider visits the patient’s home to offer assistance with daily activities, including personal care, home health CPT code 99509 is used.
CPT Code 99510 – Home Visit for Individual, Family, Couples Counseling
Home health services cover physical as well as emotional well-being in the comfort of a patient’s home. CPT code 99510 is reported when a licensed social worker or psychologist visits the home to counsel the patient, him and his family, or him and his domestic partner.
CPT Code 99511 – Home Visit for Fecal Impaction Management
Approximately 4 million people in the USA are diagnosed with frequent constipation. But, in the case of severity, fecal impaction or buildup occurs in the large intestine (colon). It can be life-threatening and requires urgent medical attention.
A home health provider visits the patient’s home to treat and manage fecal impaction with enema administration. Hence, home health CPT code 99511 will be used to bill this service.
CPT Code 99512 – Home Visit for Hemodialysis
Over 1 in 7 American adults (14% of the country’s population) suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to an increased risk of kidney failure. The primary function of a kidney is to remove waste from the blood. So, when the organ fails, the patient needs dialysis to filter toxins from the blood.
Home health CPT code 99512 reports a provider’s visit to the patient’s home for hemodialysis to ensure waste removal from the blood.
CPT Code 99600 – Unlisted Home Visit or Procedure
You can use the home health CPT code 99600 when a home visit service or procedure does not have a specific code. For example, you can use this code when a licensed doula services provider visits the patient’s home before, during, or after childbirth and offers physical, informational, or emotional support.
Home Health CPT Codes for Home Infusion Procedures & Services
Patients with chronic or acute conditions require the administration of specialty drugs, like Inflectra (for inflammatory conditions) and Cyramza (for cancer), either intravenously (IV infusion), orally, or intramuscularly for treatment. These drugs are acquired from specialty pharmacies and are classified as high-cost prescription medications for complex diseases and conditions.
Home health agencies provide patients with specialty drugs, educate them on the storage of these drugs, and ensure their seamless administration. The following home health CPT codes cover home infusion therapies (specialty drug administration) for up to 3 hours per visit.
CPT Code 99601 – Home Infusion or Specialty Drug Administration, First 2 Hours
This home health CPT code is reported when a healthcare provider visits the patient’s home and administers a specialty drug or infusion for up to 2 hours. Home infusion therapy involves intravenous or subcutaneous administration of drugs (e.g., immune globulin or antivirals) to treat a range of conditions, like viral infections, cancer, or severe malnutrition.
CPT Code 99602 – Home Infusion/Specialty Drug Administration, Additional 1 Hour
Home health CPT code 99602 is an add-on code that is used in conjunction with 99601 to report an extra 1 hour of specialty drug administration or home infusion at the patient’s home.
Home Health CPT Codes for Speech-Language Therapy
Around 7.7% of the children in the USA are diagnosed with a voice, speech, or language-related disorder. However, studies have shown that receiving speech therapy in the comfort of home leads to better results and greater benefits in children and seniors alike. At home, patients receive personalized attention, family support, and the comfort of a familial environment, which expedites recovery and rehabilitation.
The following home health CPT codes cover home-based speech and language therapies involving activities like articulation, sound production, speech fluency, and language comprehension.
CPT Code 92521 – Evaluation of Speech Fluency
Home health CPT code 92521 is reported when a speech-language pathologist (SLP) visits the patient’s home and analyzes how fluent the patient is in his speech. For example, he checks whether the patient stutters, stammers, clutters, or more.
CPT Code 92522 – Evaluation of Speech Sound Production
In contrast, CPT code 92522 reports an SLP’s visit to the patient’s home for speech sound production evaluation. During his analysis, the SLP examines tongue, lip, and jaw movements to identify issues with pronunciation and patterns.
CPT Code 92523 – Evaluation of Speech Sound Production with Language Comprehension and Expression
Although the home health CPT code 92523 also bills a speech sound production evaluation, here, the examination is more comprehensive. Apart from checking the patient’s pronunciation and patterns (e.g., articulation and phonological process), the SLP also tests whether or not the patient can comprehend receptive and expressive language.
Home Health CPT Codes for Physical Therapy
In its detailed recommendation and report titled ‘Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain-United States, 2022’, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests physical therapy as a non-invasive and non-pharmacologic approach to managing chronic pain, especially back pain, neck pain, and arthritis. Moreover, it is labeled a cost-effective and accessible treatment option for patients with limited access to recreational facilities.
Again, performing physical therapy at home is proven to be more beneficial because of focused one-on-one interaction, mobility within known premises, and training on familiar equipment. Here are some commonly reported home health CPT codes for home-based physical therapy.
CPT Code 97161 – Face-to-face Physical Therapy Evaluation, 20 Minutes
Before rendering physical therapy, providers must assess the patient’s physical well-being, establish his clinical status, and design an appropriate treatment plan for effective recovery. This is known as physical therapy evaluation. When an evaluation is of low complexity and lasts 20 minutes, home health CPT code 97161 is reported.
In this brief face-to-face assessment, the provider notes the patient’s medical history, analyzes one or two elements related to the body’s function, structure, and limitations, like gait, mobility, or joint flexibility, and performs standardized tests to reach a low-complexity medical decision. The patient’s family may also be present during this evaluation.
CPT Code 97162 – Face-to-face Physical Therapy Evaluation, 30 Minutes
Home health CPT code 97162 is used when a face-to-face, moderate complexity physical therapy evaluation is performed at home and lasts up to 30 minutes. The provider documents the patient’s medical history to rule out factors that will adversely affect care, determines the patient’s current clinical status, and assesses three or more elements related to body structure, function, and limitations, like gait, muscle strength, joint flexibility, mobility, and neuromuscular function.
Moreover, the physical therapist performs standardized tests to reach a moderate-level medical decision. The patient’s family may or may not be present during the evaluation.
CPT Code 97163 – Face-to-face Physical Therapy Evaluation, 45 Minutes
A high complexity initial evaluation lasting 45 minutes is denoted by home health CPT code 97163. During this comprehensive physical therapy evaluation, the provider records the patient’s medical history, assesses his clinical status, examines the body’s structure and function, like mobility, muscle strength, gait, and joint flexibility, and performs standardized tests to reach a high-complexity medical decision. The patient’s family may or may not be present during this extensive therapeutic evaluation.
CPT Code 97164 – Face-to-face Physical Therapy Re-evaluation, 20 Minutes
Home health CPT code 97164 is used when the provider wants to bill a 20-minute-long re-evaluation session with the patient or his family or both. The session includes reviewing the patient’s history, repeating the standardized tests, and revising the treatment plan to improve the body’s structure and functions.
Home Health CPT Codes for Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy significantly improves the quality of life of patients suffering from developmental delays, aging, or recovering from an illness or injury. A combination of exercises, activities, and assistive technology aids patients’ recovery, helping them carry out daily tasks and reintegrate into their personal and professional lives.
When performed at home, occupational therapy may involve rearranging the patient’s furniture to prevent accidents and enhance mobility, organizing the medication schedules, and educating the family on facilitating care and recovery. Let’s consider some common home health CPT codes for occupational therapy.
CPT Code 97165 – Low Complexity Occupational Therapy Evaluation, 30 Minutes
This home health CPT code notifies the insurance payer that a face-to-face, 30-minute-long occupational therapy evaluation was performed at the patient’s home, which led to low-complexity medical decision-making.
During this visit, the provider records the patient’s medical and therapy history, assesses one to three physical, psychosocial, or cognitive performance factors that limit activity and participation, and determines the patient’s current occupational profile to suggest appropriate treatment options. The patient’s family may be present during the evaluation.
CPT Code 97166 – Moderate Complexity Occupational Therapy Evaluation, 45 Minutes
In contrast, home health CPT code 97166 reports a 45-minute occupational therapy evaluation at the patient’s home, involving direct or in-person contact between the patient and the provider.
The provider starts the session by noting the patient’s expanded medical and therapy history, assessing three to five physical, psychosocial, or cognitive performance factors limiting activity and participation, and determining the patient’s current occupational profile to recommend suitable treatment options. Usually, a moderate-complexity medical decision-making is required. Again, the patient’s family may be present during the evaluation.
CPT Code 97167 – High Complexity Occupational Therapy Evaluation, 60 Minutes
If the provider-patient direct contact during an occupational therapy evaluation lasts up to 60 minutes, home health CPT code 97167 is assigned. It explains to the insurance payer that the therapist analyzed the patient’s medical and therapeutic history (occupational profile), assessed the data, and considered various treatment options to restore occupational performance.
Moreover, he tested the patient’s physical, psychosocial, and cognitive performance to gauge the level of assistance needed for physical and verbal tasks.
CPT Code 97168 – Occupational Therapy Re-evaluation, 30 Minutes
Home health CPT code 97168 reports a 30-minute-long face-to-face occupational therapy re-evaluation visit at the patient’s home with the agenda of revising the treatment plan. The occupational therapist assesses the patient’s body functions, environment, and medical status to update the care plan and modify therapy goals. The re-evaluation is performed when the provider observes changes in the patient’s body functions. The patient’s family may or may not be present during the session.
Most Common Home Health HCPCS Codes
The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II is an extensive set of alpha-numeric standardized codes created and maintained by the CMS to report and bill medical services, drugs, equipment, and devices. Their use was popularized in the 1980s among Medicaid State agencies, Medicare contractors, and private insurers to bring some form of uniformity in healthcare billing.
Home health HCPCS codes beginning with letters ‘G’, ‘S’, and ‘T’ cover most home health care services, such as personal care, home infusion, in-home vaccinations, and skilled nursing care.
Home Health HCPCS Codes for In-Home Vaccinations
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), immunizations or vaccinations save millions of lives each year across the globe. Currently, immunizations against diseases like influenza and measles prevent between 3.5 and 5 million deaths per year. In the USA alone, flu vaccinations between 2023-2024 prevented at least 7 million cases of influenza and 3,500 influenza-associated deaths.
Hence, every year, the CDC revises its guidelines and recommendations for vaccination against 16 potentially harmful diseases according to age brackets. For example, it recommends that by age 6, all children should be immunized against 16 infectious diseases, including Polio, Hepatitis A and B, COVID-19, and chickenpox.
Thankfully, home health HCPCS codes cover in-home vaccinations so you can protect your patients against harmful bacteria and viruses without losing a cent of your income. Take a look!
HCPCS Code G0008 – Influenza Vaccine Administration
Each year, around 5,944 people in the USA die of influenza virus, and an estimated 100,000-710,000 are hospitalized. Together, influenza and pneumonia are the 12th leading cause of death in the United States. Therefore, vaccination against these diseases is essential.
Home health HCPCS code G0008 reports an influenza vaccine that was administered at the patient’s home. The flu shot is injected intramuscularly in the upper arm, and the immunization promises protection against influenza for up to 6 months.
HCPCS Code G0009 – Pneumococcal Vaccine Administration
Home health HCPCS code G0009 is used for billing in-home immunization against the pneumonia bacterial infection. The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) is administered intramuscularly to offer protection for a lifetime.
It must be noted that around 1.4 million Americans are hospitalized because of pneumonia each year, and nearly 41,108 people lose their lives because of the infection.
HCPCS Code G0010 – Hepatitis B Vaccine Administration
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and causes fever, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and more. According to the American Liver Foundation, nearly 2.2 million people in the country are living with chronic hepatitis B infection, and 70% of them suffer from its symptoms.
Vaccination against hepatitis B is available and can be administrated intramuscularly at the patient’s home using home health HCPCS code G0010.
HCPCS Code M0201 – Additional Payment Amount for Vaccine Administration at Home
M0201 is a Level II HCPCS code for home health services. It is reported when the provider wants to charge an additional payment for administering an in-home COVID-19 vaccine to a Medicare patient under certain circumstances. It is an add-on code and must be reported with the CPT code 90480 for COVID-19 vaccine administration.
Please note that you can only report this home health HCPCS code once per patient per day. The approximate reimbursement rate (add-on payment) against this code is $40.
‘T’ Code HCPCS Codes for Home Health Services
The complete list of HCPCS codes that begin with the letter ‘T’ followed by four numerical characters covers several services apart from home healthcare. To be precise, T-codes within the range T1000 to T5999 cover nursing care, hospice care, personal care, reusable supplies, non-emergency transportation, and more. However, the four home health HCPCS codes that we will discuss in detail specifically report ‘Home Health Services’ rendered per 15 minutes, per visit, or per day.
HCPCS Code T1019 – Personal Care Services, Per 15 Minutes
Home health HCPCS code T1019 reports 15 minutes of personal care services that were provided to a patient who is not a resident of a hospital, an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded (ICF/MR), an institute of mental diseases (IMD), or a nursing facility. Moreover, a certified nurse assistant or home health aide should not provide these personal care services.
HCPCS Code T1020 – Personal Care Service, Per Diem
Any personal care service not provided by a certified nurse assistant or a home health aide but still meeting the criteria of a home health service is billed by the day using this HCPCS code. Moreover, before using this home health HCPCS code, you must ensure that the patient is not a resident of a nursing facility, an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded (ICF/MR), a hospital, or an institute of mental diseases (IMD).
HCPCS Code T1021 – Home Health Aide or Certified Nurse Assistant, Per Visit
Home health HCPCS code T1021 is reported when the provider wants to bill the services of a home health aide or a certified nurse assistant once per visit.
HCPCS Code T1022 – Contracted Home Health Agency Services, Per Day
Healthcare providers can use the home health HCPCS code T1022 to bill all services that were rendered under the contract (signed between a home health agency and the insurance payer). However, this code can only be reported once per service day.
‘G’ Code HCPCS Codes for Home Health Services
G-codes in the HCPCS Level II codes list are perhaps the most extensive and cover hundreds of procedures and services that could not fit within the CPT coding system. For example, the complete list of G-codes, from G0008 to G9999, reports vision assessments, pain assessments, evaluation and management, palliative care, geriatric care management, take-home supplies, filler procedures, telehealth consultations, fracture treatments, and much more.
However, the most reported G-codes in HCPCS codes for home health services are as follows.
HCPCS Code G0151 – Physical Therapy at Home, 15 Minutes
Home health HCPCS code G0151 indicates that the services were performed in a home or hospice setting by a qualified physical therapist in 15-minute increments, where 1 unit of the service was reported every 15 minutes.
HCPCS Code G0152 – Occupational Therapy at Home, 15 Minutes
G0152 is also a frequently used home health HCPCS code. It indicates that the services were performed at the patient’s home or in a hospice setting and by a qualified occupational therapist. Again, you are advised to report 1 unit of this code for every 15 minutes of the service.
HCPCS Code G0153 – Speech-Language Therapy, 15 Minutes
You should report home health HCPCS code G0153 when a qualified speech-language pathologist provides at least 15 minutes of service at the patient’s home or in a hospice setting.
HCPCS Code G0156 – Home Health/Hospice Aide Services, 15 Minutes
You can use G0156 to bill home health or hospice aide services in 15-minute increments if the place of service is the patient’s home or a hospice.
HCPCS Code G0299 – Direct Skilled Nursing Services by RN, 15 Minutes
Home health HCPCS code G0299 should be used when a registered nurse (RN) delivers skilled nursing services directly to the patient at home for at least 15 minutes. You can report 1 unit of this code for each 15 minutes.
HCPCS Code G0300 – Direct Skilled Nursing Services by LPN, 15 Minutes
Similarly, G0300 reports at least 15 minutes of direct time with a licensed practical nurse (LPN) when skilled nursing services are provided at the patient’s home.
‘S’ Code HCPCS Codes for Home Health Services
HCPCS code range S0012-S9999, known as the S-codes, is classified as ‘Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)’ and covers services and products like Non-Medicare covered drugs, screenings and examinations, vision supplies, home infusion therapies, assisted breathing supplies, and more. However, we will restrict our discussion to S-codes that report various home care services.
HCPCS Code S5125 – Attendant Care Services, Per 15 Minutes
People with physical disabilities may need continuous assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, grooming, feeding, and mobility. In this case, home health agencies send trained attendants to the patient’s home. Home health HCPCS code S5125 bills each 15 minutes of attendant care services provided daily.
HCPCS Code S9131 – Physical Therapy, at Home, Per Diem
Home health HCPCS code S9131 is used when physical therapy is provided at the patient’s home on a daily basis. You should report 1 unit of this code per visit per day.
Home Health HCPCS Codes for Durable Medical Equipment
CMS has created and maintains over 200 HCPCS codes for durable medical equipment (DME). These are generally referred to as the E-codes and range between E0100-E8002, covering various reusable products and devices, such as breast pumps, breathing aids, electric wheelchairs, pressure mattresses, commode chairs, and even pediatric gait trainers.
However, our complete guide on DME HCPCS codes for home health services suggests that in a home setting, patients are mostly in need of reusable crutches (E0114), folding walkers with wheels (E0143), commode chairs (E0163), semi-electric hospital beds (E0260), portable oxygen systems (E0431), ventilators (E0466), and ambulatory infusion pumps (E0781).
Home Health HCPCS Codes for Osteoporosis Drugs
In this section, we will discuss HCPCS’s J-codes for drugs administered other than the oral method. Hence, we will specifically look at the HCPCS code range J0120-J8999, which covers immunosuppressive drugs, contraceptive systems, inhalation solutions, and clotting factors.
Now, the most frequently reported home health HCPCS codes are for osteoporosis drugs, which are administered intramuscularly (injected in the muscle) or subcutaneously (injected under the skin) to prevent bone loss, improve bone mineral density, and treat weak bones.
It must be noted that nearly 10 million people in the USA aged 50 and above have osteoporosis, and most of these (around 8 million) are women. Therefore, osteoporosis drug administration is a vital part of home healthcare.
HCPCS Code J0897 – Denosumab Injection, 1 mg
You should report the home health HCPCS code J0897 when 1 mg of denosumab (Prolia or Xgeva brands) is injected subcutaneously into the patient’s upper arm, thigh, or abdomen at home. The injection is recommended when other medicines for osteoporosis do not work and when patients have been using steroid medicines for at least 6 months. It treats bone loss and prevents bone metastasis.
HCPCS Code J0630 – Calcitonin Salmon Injection, Up to 400 Units
Home health HCPCS code J0630 is used when up to 400 units of calcitonin salmon (by brand Miacalcin) is injected into the patient’s skin (subcutaneously) or muscle (intramuscularly) to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. Calcitonin is a synthetic hormone that slows down bone loss and maintains normal levels of calcium in the blood. It occurs naturally in the thyroid gland, but because of Paget’s disease or menopause, its production levels decline, leading to increased bone loss.
HCPCS Code J3110 – Teriparatide Injection, 10 mcg
Home health HCPCS code J3110 is often reported when 10 mg of teriparatide is injected subcutaneously (in the thigh or abdomen) to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It also replicates the effect of a naturally present hormone in the body, parathyroid hormone, to increase bone mass and strength. A daily dose of teriparatide injection (available in prefilled pen injectors) is recommended for best results. The popular brand names for teriparatide injection are Forteo, Bonsity, and Parathar.
Home Health HCPCS Codes for Disposable NPWT Devices
Another popular service that home health agencies offer at the patient’s home is wound care for surgical wounds or pressure sores/ulcers (bedsores). The provider uses negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to treat these wounds in bedridden or recently operated patients. The process involves applying suction pressure through a disposable device to remove fluids, tissue debris, and bacteria from the wound bed to expedite healing.
It must be noted that around 6.5 million people in the USA are affected by chronic wounds like ulcers, sores, and diabetic wounds. Hence, home health HCPCS codes for disposable NPWT devices are widely reported.
HCPCS Code A9272 – Wound Suction, Disposable, Includes Dressing
A9272 allows the provider to bill a wound care service, which includes wound suction (aspiration using a single-use NPWT device) and wound dressing. This HCPCS code covers all the accessories and components of the NWPT device, such as the suction pump, dressing kit, and collection canister, be it of any type.
Please note that the CMS identifies A9272 as an all-inclusive home health HCPCS code, and “supplies used with disposable wound suction systems are not separately billable”.
Conclusion
Now that you are familiar with the most used CPT and HCPCS codes for home health services, it is time to kick-start your coding journey. As a registered home health agency, your focus should be to render and bill at-home services and products that are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers, like physical/occupational/speech-language therapies, skilled nursing care, vaccinations, infusions, and wound care, for sustainable financial growth of your practice.
However, if you want to limit your expertise to quality patient care, consider outsourcing home health billing services to a reputable medical billing company like MediBillMD. Their team of AAPC-certified professional coders can effortlessly take over home health CPT and HCPCS coding.
