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

What 99183 covers

Code 99183 represents the physician’s professional involvement in a hyperbaric oxygen treatment session. In a hospital or outpatient wound-care setting, the physician oversees the patient during treatment and documents the clinical assessment and response. Common treatment situations include selected diabetic lower-extremity wounds and tissue injury from radiation; the code represents the professional service, not the chamber or oxygen equipment.

Report the code for each documented session in which the physician provides the professional service. The record should identify the treatment session, the patient’s condition and relevant assessment, and the physician’s oversight and report. CMS identifies 99183 as a professional-component-only code; the technical portion is represented separately, commonly by HCPCS G0277 for hyperbaric oxygen under pressure in a full-body chamber. Keep documentation and claims distinct so the professional service is not mistaken for the chamber’s technical service.
