What 90954 covers
This code represents a month of physician management for a patient with end-stage renal disease who is 2 through 11 years old and receives four or more face-to-face visits that month. A nephrologist or other physician managing the child’s renal disease typically provides these services in connection with ongoing dialysis care. The work may involve assessing the child’s condition, reviewing clinical information, and managing the renal treatment plan across the month.
Select this code using the patient’s age and the documented number of face-to-face visits in the month. The record should support the ESRD-related management and the visits counted, rather than treating each dialysis session as a separate monthly service. Report the monthly service that matches the documented visit count and age; codes 90955 and 90956 distinguish lower visit counts for the same age group. CMS assigns physician fee schedule work, practice expense, and malpractice RVUs to this service.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

90954 billing questions
What visit count supports 90954?
Use it for a patient age 2 through 11 when four or more face-to-face visits are documented during the month. The record should support the visits and the related ESRD management.
How does 90954 differ from 90955?
Both are monthly ESRD management codes for patients age 2 through 11. Choose 90954 for four or more visits; 90955 is for two or three.
When should 90956 be selected instead?
90956 is the same-age monthly code for one face-to-face visit. Use 90954 when the documented count reaches four or more.
Is 90954 reported for each dialysis treatment?
No. It represents monthly ESRD-related physician management based on the visit count, not a separate monthly service for each dialysis session.
Which code applies when the patient turns 12?
For a patient age 12 through 19 with four or more face-to-face visits in the month, compare 90957. The applicable age group and documented monthly visit count determine the code.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
