CPT Code GO283

[Guest guest]

Did the cpt code GO283 replace cpt code 97014? In the 2007 CPT code

book it still has the 97014 code listed, but the MA provider manual has

GO283?

Diane,

G0283 is a Medicare's HCPCS II code (Healthcare's Common Procedure Coding

System). It is 1 of 3 G codes that " Medicare " created to further clarify

what type of unattended electrical stimulation is being performed by the

physician/clinician. The other two are G codes which describe unattended

electrical stimulation for wound care purposes. 97014 remains a valid AMA

CPT 97000 code to describe electrical stimulation (unattended) and is still

a recognized descriptor of the service for many payers. Medicare as with any

payer have to right to use or not use the AMA CPT descriptors and may create

there own descriptors for reporting purposes. However, Medicare generally

recognizes and accepts most of AMA's CPT codes as a collaborative effort of

the healthcare industry. Because many payers follow Medicare methodology it

is not uncommon for other payers i.e. " MA provider manual " to request the

same reporting. You need to contact each individual payer to guide you in

how they want the service reported.

Hope this helps!
