How many units of HCPCS code A4649 should appear on one day

Units normally expected per day: Medicare normally expects at most 1 unit of HCPCS code A4649 per patient per day. More than 1 unit a day is clinically unlikely rather than impossible, so a higher count is usually reviewed by hand rather than denied outright.

If your bill shows more units of HCPCS code A4649 for a single date of service than that, it is worth asking the billing office to explain the count — duplicate lines and unit-entry mistakes are among the most common medical-billing errors.
