Medicare HETS 270/271 Submitters:  

    

CMS announces an update to the HETS2024-4 Companion Guide.  The updated document (linked below) is version 10-38-1.  HETS Submitters should review all documented changes but please take special note that HCPCS codes G0106 & G0120 are being terminated effective January 1, 2025.  HETS Submitters must ensure that they cease sending either or both of these HCPCS codes on HETS 270 requests by this date.  Effective January 1, 2025 HETS will send a 999 error to any 270 request that includes either HCPCS G0106 or G0120.

 

The HETS2024-4 system release will introduce potential changes to the HETS 270 request and the HETS 271 response.  HETS 270/271 Submitters should carefully review the linked documentation for more information.  

  

The HETS2024-4 release is scheduled for December, 2024. Submitters will be notified when additional information is available regarding this release.
