01Billing team must immediately update billing system to (1) remove CPT codes 80100, 80101, 80101QW, G0430, and G0431 from all claim submission workflows; (2) implement utilization edits that enforce maximum limits for G0434/G0434QW (1 per date of service, 2 per month), 80104/80104QW (5 per date of service, 2 per month), and 80102 (5 per date of service, 2 per month); (3) create system logic to deny claims when G0434/G0434QW and 80104/80104QW are billed on the same date of service; (4) train clinical and billing staff on new frequency limits and billing restrictions.
