Wiki HCPCS Code G0447

[mwetherbee]

Has anyone ever used this code before? I am new at this, being that I am in a new department that dabbles in a few different specialties. I was asked from a Family Practice office if this code was covered under Medicare part B and if it would be a free visit. Does the patient need to sign a ABN form? and what is the cost of this visit ect. Can anyone help!

Medicare fee schedule shows a non-facility reimbursement of $24.71, need to have a diagnosis code for a BMI of 30.0 or greater per NCD.

Does G0447 need to be billed with the 278.00 and the V code for the BMI? Medicare states must be billed with one the V-codes for BMI. TIA
