Action needed
By January 6, 2023: Billing team must update system to bill G0312 and G0313 as EPSDT services for patients under 21 with diagnosis codes Z00.121 or Z00.129 only. Remove revenue code 636 linkage from all vaccine counseling codes G0310, G0311, G0312, and G0313 - these can only be billed on professional claims. Update encounter forms to reflect professional setting requirement and EPSDT billing for pediatric patients. Claims will be denied if billed incorrectly in outpatient settings.
