A second new HCPCS code (U0002) can be used by laboratories and healthcare facilities to bill Medicare as well as by other health insurers that choose to adopt this new code for such tests. HCPCS code (U0002) generally describes 2019-nCoV Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2/2019-nCoV (COVID-19) using any technique, multiple types or subtypes (includes all targets). The Medicare claims processing system will be able to accept these codes on April 1, 2020 for dates of service on or after Feb. 4, 2020. The CDC’s coding guidance states that coders should not assign code B97.29 when the provider documents “suspected”, “possible” or “probable” COVID-19, but rather assign a code for the reason for the encounter (such as cough, fever, or Z20.828).

HCPCS Level III contains alphanumeric codes that are assigned by Medicaid state agencies to identify additional items and services not included in levels I or II. These are usually called "local codes", and must have "W", "X", "Y", or "Z" in the first position. HCPCS Procedure Modifier Codes can be used with all three levels, with the WA - ZY range used for locally assigned procedure modifiers. - Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) – A law passed in 1996 which is also sometimes called the “Kassebaum-Kennedy” law. This law expands healthcare coverage for patients who have lost or changed jobs, or have pre-existing conditions.
