New Place of Service Code 27 – Outreach Site/Street

CMS created a new place of service (POS) code 27 (Outreach Site/Street) effective October 1, 2023. This is a non-permanent location on the street or found environment, not described by any other POS code, where you provide preventive, screening, diagnostic, or treatment services to unsheltered, homeless patients. We’ll process claims with POS 27 the same as POS 12 (Home).

See the instruction to your Medicare Administrative Contractor (PDF) for more information.
