Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 90955 covers

CPT 90955 represents monthly end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-related care for a patient aged 2 through 11 when the physician or qualified health care professional conducts two or three face-to-face visits during the month. Pediatric nephrologists commonly report it while managing children receiving maintenance dialysis. Monthly care may involve reviewing the dialysis plan, volume and blood-pressure status, laboratory results, medications, vascular or peritoneal access concerns, and treatment complications. This is monthly management, not a code for an individual dialysis treatment.

Choose the code by the patient’s age and the number of qualifying face-to-face visits during the month. The record should support the visit dates and the renal management provided; count these visits, not dialysis sessions. Report the monthly service once for the applicable month, rather than assigning 90955 to each visit. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to the service.
