Summary & Overview
HCPCS G8762: Parkinson's Disease Quality Measures Completed
HCPCS Level II code G8762 documents that all required quality actions for the Parkinson’s disease measures group have been completed for an individual patient. The code functions as a performance-measure reporting indicator used by clinicians and organizations to certify that the full set of disease-specific quality measures was met. Nationally, such codes support quality programs, value-based payment arrangements, and public reporting by standardizing how completion of measure sets is recorded.
Key payers addressed in this content include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise explanation of the code’s clinical and administrative purpose, the likely service context (quality reporting in outpatient or ambulatory settings), and the practical implications for billing workflows. The publication also summarizes what stakeholders typically examine around such codes: benchmarks for reporting completeness, alignment with payer quality programs, and intersections with performance-based payment policies. Where specific operational details (modifiers, taxonomies, associated diagnoses, and related codes) are not provided in the input, the document notes that those items are unavailable.

Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A typical patient is a 72-year-old individual with a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease who is enrolled in a quality reporting program requiring documentation that all applicable quality measures for Parkinson's disease have been completed. The clinical workflow begins in the neurology clinic: during a scheduled follow-up visit, the neurologist or advanced practice provider reviews motor and nonmotor symptoms, conducts the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) focused items, documents medication reconciliation including timed levodopa dosing and motor fluctuations, screens for falls and orthostatic symptoms, assesses cognition and mood, and reviews advanced therapy candidacy. Nursing and care coordination staff collect and enter required data elements into the electronic health record and the population health registry, confirming tobacco cessation counseling status, immunization records, and comorbidity management as specified by the Parkinson's disease measure set. After all elements are documented and validated, the practice submits the attestation that "All quality actions for the applicable measures in the Parkinson's disease measures group have been performed for this patient" using billing code G8762 for quality reporting capture. Typical site of service is outpatient neurology clinic or multidisciplinary movement disorders center. Service type is quality measure attestation and reporting for chronic neurological disease management.
