2017 Coding Changes: Mobility Assistive Technology

Your providers may have heard about this new code as it was in the proposed rule.

G0501 – Resource-intensive services for patients for whom the use of specialized mobility-assistive technology (such as adjustable height chairs or tables, patient lift, and adjustable padded leg supports) is medically necessary and used during the provision of an office/outpatient, evaluation and management visit (list separately in addition to primary service)

While CMS created the code, it is still being debated and payment has not been finalized. CMS will continue to analyze.

It is an active code. Compliance can help research other payer’s policy.
