About G0146: Additional peer illness navigation time

Reports each additional 30 minutes of clinician-directed peer navigation in a calendar month for a patient with a serious, high-risk illness.

G0146 covers additional time spent providing principal illness navigation through peer support. A physician or other qualified health care professional directs the service, which is delivered by certified or trained auxiliary personnel. It supports patients with a serious, high-risk illness, such as a condition that threatens hospitalization, functional decline, or death. Peer navigators help the patient engage with the care plan and address barriers to care; the work may involve direct patient contact and coordination related to the illness.

Report G0146 for each additional 30 minutes of qualifying peer-navigation service in the calendar month, after the primary service represented by G0140. It is an add-on and cannot be billed alone; CMS pays it within the primary procedure's global period. Documentation should identify the patient's illness-related navigation needs, the peer-support work performed, the personnel providing it, and the time attributable to the additional service. The record should also support the relationship of the work to the patient's care plan.
