CPT code G0567 was added to the national HCPCS file with an effective date of April 1, 2025. Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) do not need to manually add this code to the HCPCS file. MACs are instructed to contractor-price CPT code G0567 (where applicable) until the annual Clinical Laboratory Public Meeting addresses it in June or July 2025.
New Proprietary Laboratory Analysis codes also do not need to be manually added to the HCPCS file but should be MAC-priced (where applicable) until they are nationally priced and undergo the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule annual payment determination process.
