2020 Quarter 4 HCPCS Updates Not Yet Adopted

October 13, 2020

The 2020 Quarter 4 updates to the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II codes are effective for Medicare on October 1, 2020. However, Medi-Cal has not yet adopted the 2020 Quarter 4 updates.

Providers should not use the 2020 Quarter 4 codes to bill for Medi-Cal or Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women (PE4PW) services until notified to do so in a future Medi-Cal Update.
