Medicare posted these new specimen collection codes in a March 31, 2020, special edition MLN Connects and in a last-minute revision to the April 2020 HCPCS Level II quarterly update file: G2023 Specimen collection for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Coronavirus disease [COVID-19]), any specimen source G2024 Specimen collection for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Coronavirus disease [COVID-19]), from an individual in a skilled nursing facility or by a laboratory on behalf of a home health agency, any specimen source As the descriptors reveal, both G2023 and G2024 apply to collection of “any specimen source,” which means you should not restrict your use of these codes based on the source of the specimen.
The only variation between the G2023 and G2024 code descriptors is this wording in G2024: “from an individual in a skilled nursing facility or by a laboratory on behalf of a home health agency.” The interim final rule states the second code, G2024, is necessary because the Social Security Act and CMS regulations “require a higher fee for collecting a specimen from an individual in a SNF [skilled nursing facility] or by a laboratory on behalf of an HHA [home health agency].” The nominal specimen collection fee for COVID-19 testing for homebound and non-hospital inpatients “generally will be $23.46,” according to the interim final rule.
Independent labs must use G2023 and G2024 to bill Medicare for the specimen collection fee for COVID-19 testing during the public health emergency (PHE), the interim final rule states. The MLN Connects post specifies that the codes are “effective with line item date of service on or after March 1, 2020.” Watch for CMS to issue additional guidance once the PHE is over and when the codes are no longer valid for reporting..
HCPCS Level II specimen collection codes G2023 and G2024 aren’t the only recent additions related to COVID-19. They join new HCPCS Level II COVID-19 testing codes and a new CPT ® COVID-19 testing code. ICD-10-CM has also added a new code, U07.1 COVID-19, with official coding guidelines.
