CMS will require Home Health Agencies to report new additional data when submitting health claims to distinguish services provided by a qualified Physical Therapist and a qualified Physical Therapist Assistant. Furthermore, CMS will be adding three new G-codes for skilled nursing services. The first code will report skilled services of a licensed nurse in the management and evaluation of the care plan. The second code for observation and assessment of patient’s conditions when only the specialized skills of a licensed nurse can determine the patient’s status until the treatment regimen is essentially stabilized. Lastly, a code for reporting of the training or education of a patient, a patient’s family, or caregiver.
