What G0282 covers

G0282 identifies unattended electrical stimulation used for wound care to one or more areas when the service is outside the wound-care category represented by G0281. The clinician applies stimulation without remaining continuously at the treatment area during delivery. It is distinct from G0283, which identifies unattended electrical stimulation for indications other than wound care. Physical therapists and other rehabilitation clinicians may provide electrical stimulation as part of wound treatment, including in outpatient therapy settings.

Medicare lists G0282 as not covered: its physician fee schedule status is N, and its HCPCS coverage designation is also not covered. The HCPCS pricing file classifies it as not separately priced by Medicare Part B. The service covers stimulation to one or more areas.

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.
