e- prescribing and Medicare claims

[carnilent]

Hi everyone, I have another question,  my client is faxing over a form along with the superbills for medicare patients.   the forms heading is Adoption/use of e-prescribing.
this form has G codes   G8443 G8445  G8446   What is this about?
I have over 20 years of billing experience and never seen these.

thanks

G8443 just means that all prescriptions created during the encounter were generated using a qualified e-prescribing system.  G8445 means no prescriptions were generated during the encounter, provider does have access to a qualified e-prescribing system and G8446 means some or all prescriptions generated during the encounter were handwritten or phoned in due to one of the following: required by state law, patient request, or qualified e-prescribing system being temporarily inoperable.

thanks!!!    so do I add these Gcodes  to the claim form on line 24 of electronic claims if answered yes on the form?

I have not personally used them but yes, I think that is how they are used.

[carnilent]

my claims are electronic, and I do not see the cms 1500 form,   how can I acces line 24?
to put these Gcodes?   I use medisoft 14.

[Michele]

Line 24 is the procedure code line.  The g codes would just go in like any other cpt code.

the form with the gcodes states if answered yes place codes on line 24 if filing electronic.
that is why I asked that.

I'm assuming they mean the equivalent of 24 on the CMS which would be the procedure code line.
