HCPCS Code G0156: Services of Home Health/Hospice Aide, Each 15 Minutes

HCPCS code G0156 is primarily designated for services provided by home health or hospice aides under a home health plan of care and is typically used within Medicare home health settings, though some commercial payers may also recognize it outside of Medicare home health programs depending on their policies.

The code does not include skilled medical tasks but covers personal care and support services such as assistance with activities of daily living.

The home health aide providing services under G0156 generally works under the supervision of a registered nurse or other licensed healthcare professional and is not authorized to perform independent medical or skilled nursing tasks.
