HCPCS G0471
Ven blood coll snf/hha
No national payment amount
Status X is not separately payable under the PFS.
Does Medicare pay separately for HCPCS G0471 in 2026?
Not at a published national rate. HCPCS G0471 carries status X (statutory exclusion) in the Q3 2026 release. The statutory definition of physician services does not include this item. Treat the blank amount as unpriced, not as $0.
Common questions
Why is there no payment amount for G0471?
Its status indicator is X (statutory exclusion). The statutory definition of physician services does not include this item. The blank is deliberate: the amount is either unknown or paid under another provision, so reading it as $0 would be wrong.
Why would a Medicare claim for G0471 be denied or paid less?
Each item below comes from a CMS indicator on this page — not general billing advice.
- Its status indicator is X (statutory exclusion) — The statutory definition of physician services does not include this item. See status indicators
- 595 codes can never be billed with G0471 on the same date of service — NCCI denies those pairs even with a modifier. See billing together
- 5221 codes pair with G0471 only when modifier 59 (or XE, XS, XP, XU) documents a distinct service — billed together without one, a line of the pair denies. See billing together
Payer-specific coverage and documentation rules live outside these files, so a claim that clears every check here can still be denied on other grounds.
When does this rate change?
CMS publishes a fee schedule release every quarter (January, April, July, October), and each is versioned here. See what changed each release, or get an email when a new release moves rates.

How this amount is computed
amount = (work RVU × work GPCI + PE RVU × PE GPCI + MP RVU × MP GPCI) × conversion factor. National amounts use GPCI = 1.000. To price an RVU figure of your own, use the RVU-to-dollars converter.
| Component | RVU |
|---|---|
| Work RVU | blank |
| Practice expense RVU (non-facility) | blank |
| Practice expense RVU (facility) | blank |
| Malpractice RVU | blank |
Every rate combines three parts: work (the clinician’s time, skill and effort), practice expense (office overhead — higher when the service is done in a doctor’s own office), and malpractice (the share of liability-insurance cost). A blank means CMS publishes no national number for that part. Read it as unknown, and never as zero.

Source & method
This is computed from CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q3 2026 release (schedule pfs, effective July 2026). National amounts apply a GPCI of 1.000 and leave sequestration off. The status indicator decides payability, never the RVU values, so a blank RVU stays blank. Releases are immutable: a rate retrieved for a past quarter always reflects that release. CMS owns the code description shown for HCPCS Level II codes. Commercial and cash-pay figures anywhere on this page are arithmetic on the Medicare amount, using commonly cited reimbursement ranges. They're illustrative, and no nationwide claims database stands behind them.
