What to do

by Jan 1, 2027 · 4 steps
01Billing team should flag the listed H codes (H0003 through H2033, excluding H0006) in charge entry and the scheduling system so services planned for Ambetter Health members on or after January 1, 2027 are reviewed before they are scheduled, and should update the payer's fee and coverage tables accordingly.
02Before January 1, 2027: Tell providers and front desk staff that Ambetter Health will not cover the listed H codes from that date and that HCPCS H0006 becomes covered, and have them confirm the service codes on upcoming orders.
03Billing team should also contact the practice's Ambetter Provider Relations Representative with questions about the bulletin, and watch for any further Ambetter notices on these codes.
04Claims for these codes with dates of service on or after January 1, 2027 may be denied as non-covered, so review the impacted services in advance.
