HCPCS Code H2016: Comprehensive community support services, per diem

No. H2016 is specifically designated as a per-diem code. Shorter encounters should use H2015 (per 15 minutes).

H2016 is billed per diem (per day), covering the entire comprehensive community support service provided throughout a calendar day, regardless of the cumulative time. H2015 is billed per 15 minutes, requiring time tracking and appropriate documentation for each 15-minute unit.

Generally, no. HCPCS codes in the H-series are primarily for mental health and substance abuse services covered by Medicaid and certain state-run public health programs. Medicare coverage for these types of services is typically billed using different codes, if covered at all.
