number of visits provided within each month should be used for services performed in an outpatient setting. Only one G code should be billed per month for the services performed in that month. Another billing requirement is to put the service date on each detail line (form locator 45 of the UB92). The FROM and THROUGH dates of service at the header(form locator 6 on the UB 92), must match the total days billed at the detail level.
