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.

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