What 90957 covers

Code 90957 represents monthly management of end-stage renal disease for a patient age 12 through 19 who receives four or more face-to-face visits during the month. A nephrologist or other qualified clinician typically provides this care in connection with the patient’s dialysis program. The work may include assessing dialysis adequacy, volume status, nutrition, vascular access, complications, and the ongoing treatment plan, as well as coordinating care with the dialysis team.

Report one monthly service when the age and visit-count criteria are met; this is not a per-dialysis-session code. Documentation should support the patient’s age, the ESRD-related management provided, and at least four face-to-face visits in that calendar month. Select a different monthly code when the patient has fewer qualifying visits, falls into another age band, or receives home dialysis services represented by the home-dialysis series.

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.

90957 billing questions

When should I choose 90957 instead of 90958?

Use 90957 for a patient age 12 through 19 with four or more face-to-face visits during the month. Code 90958 is the same age group with two or three visits.

Is 90957 reported for each dialysis treatment?

No. It represents monthly ESRD-related management, with the number of face-to-face visits determining the applicable monthly code.

What supports reporting four or more visits?

Keep documentation of the face-to-face ESRD-related encounters during the month, along with the assessments and management provided. The record should support the patient’s age and the monthly service.

How does this differ from 90935?

Code 90957 describes monthly ESRD-related management for the specified age and visit count. Code 90935 describes a hemodialysis service with one evaluation, rather than monthly management.

What if the patient received only one visit that month?

For a patient age 12 through 19 with one face-to-face visit, use the corresponding one-visit monthly code, 90959, rather than 90957.

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.
