HCPCS code G0152: Occupational therapy, home health or hospice, per 15 minutes2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in Missouri

CMS doesn’t publish an office rate for G0152 in Missouri.

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What G0152 covers

A qualified occupational therapist reports this service for therapy provided in a patient’s home health or hospice setting. Treatment may address daily activities, functional movement, use of adaptive equipment, and safety in the home. The code identifies the therapist’s service, rather than therapy delivered by an occupational therapy assistant or a different therapy discipline.

Each unit represents 15 minutes of occupational therapy. Medicare assigns this code physician fee schedule status X, so the physician fee schedule does not pay it. It is not separately priced by Medicare Part B; when covered, payment is under another fee schedule or payment system. Medicare coverage is left to the contractor’s judgment, so the code’s status alone does not establish coverage for a particular service.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
