Holli,
I found this stuff tonight and am going to try it tomorrow…
Specimen Collection & Handling
Medicaid:
• The HCPCS code for specimen collection and handling, G2023 has been approved for Local Health Departments
to bill Medicaid. This applies to COVID-19 only specimens. The Medicaid reimbursement for this service is
$23.46.
Medicaid COVID-19 testing program (MCV):
• The HCPCS code for specimen collection and handling, G2023. (see more information below)
HRSA portal for Uninsured:
• You are also required to use G2023 for specimen collection and handling when billing through the HRSA portal
for uninsured clients.
United has the following page that looks like they will pay the G code too I am wondering though do we need the U code with it?
