What does the code H0020 cover?

The code H0020 specifically pertains to alcohol and/or drug treatment services. This code is used within the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II to indicate services and support provided for individuals dealing with substance use disorders, which include both alcohol and drug treatment. These services may involve various forms of counseling, therapy, or rehabilitation programs aimed at addressing substance misuse and helping patients achieve recovery.

This code helps healthcare providers and insurers accurately identify the type of treatment being administered, ensuring proper coding for reimbursement and data recording purposes. It is important for accurate billing and reflects the healthcare system's recognition of substance use treatment as a crucial component of public health. The other options represent different categories of services which do not pertain specifically to substance use treatment.
