What G0250 covers
G0250 represents a physician’s review and interpretation of home INR results, along with related anticoagulation management, such as communicating instructions or adjusting a warfarin dose when needed. It is used for patients receiving chronic anticoagulation who test their INR at home. The physician documents the result reviewed and the management provided. This service is distinct from demonstrating how to use a home monitor or providing its equipment and testing materials.
Report G0250 for the professional review and management service, not for each test strip or device; it may be billed no more than once per week. Documentation should identify the INR result reviewed and resulting instructions, dosage decision, or other management. Medicare payment is restricted to specific circumstances. G0250 is professional-component-only, covering interpretation and reporting; a separate code covers the technical portion. G0249 covers provision of home INR testing equipment and materials.
