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

What 90960 covers

This service covers a full calendar month of professional ESRD management for a patient age 20 or older receiving facility-based dialysis, commonly in-center hemodialysis. A nephrologist or qualified nonphysician practitioner typically reviews dialysis adequacy, laboratory results, anemia treatment, bone-mineral management, fluid status, blood pressure, and vascular access concerns. Face-to-face visits commonly occur at the dialysis facility, with care coordinated with its staff.

Report one unit for the month when at least four qualifying face-to-face visits are documented; the visits do not generate four monthly units. Record each visit's date, practitioner, and ESRD-related assessment or management. Use 90961 or 90962 for a full month with fewer visits, and 90966 for monthly home dialysis management in this age group. For a partial month, such as dialysis initiation or a transplant during the month, consider the age-appropriate per-day ESRD code. Hospitalization alone does not make a month partial. The monthly professional service includes management of ESRD-related problems; dialysis facility services are distinct.
