What 90961 covers

This code represents a month of ongoing management for an adult with end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis. A nephrologist or other physician overseeing the patient’s ESRD care may assess dialysis adequacy, fluid status, anemia, mineral and bone disease, medications, vascular access, and related treatment needs. The work may occur in the context of outpatient dialysis care and includes the physician’s continuing management across the month, not just a single dialysis treatment.

Select this monthly level for a patient age 20 or older when the physician provides two or three face-to-face visits during the month. The visit count, dates, age, and documented ESRD management support the level reported. Do not count dialysis sessions as physician visits. The adjacent monthly levels distinguish patients with four or more visits from those with one visit; separate home-dialysis and per-day codes describe different circumstances.

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.

90961 billing questions

How does 90961 differ from 90960 and 90962?

For patients age 20 or older, 90961 represents two or three face-to-face visits in the month. Use 90960 for four or more visits and 90962 for one visit.

Are dialysis sessions counted as visits?

No. The level is based on the physician’s face-to-face visits with the patient during the month, not the number of dialysis treatments.

What documentation supports reporting 90961?

Record the patient’s age, the dates of the two or three face-to-face visits, and the ESRD management addressed during the month.

Is 90961 reported once per visit?

No. It represents monthly ESRD management at the two-to-three-visit level, rather than a separate unit for each visit.

How does 90961 differ from 90966?

90961 is selected by the monthly face-to-face visit count for an adult patient. 90966 describes monthly ESRD services for an adult receiving home dialysis.

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.
