What 99307 covers

This is a subsequent evaluation and management visit for a patient in a skilled nursing facility or nursing facility. It may involve assessing a minor, self-limited symptom, reviewing the patient's condition with facility staff, and deciding whether any change in care is needed. Physicians, geriatricians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants commonly perform these visits during facility rounds. The level depends on the work performed, not simply on whether the visit was scheduled or brief.

Select 99307 using straightforward medical decision making or at least 10 minutes of the billing practitioner's total time on the encounter date. Count qualifying chart review, discussion with facility staff, evaluation, and documentation performed by that practitioner. For decision-making selection, document the problem addressed and the data and management risk considered; a specific amount of data review is not required. Under Medicare, the principal physician of record reports initial nursing facility care, while another practitioner's first visit during the admission may be subsequent care. Use the place of service that reflects the setting: POS 31 for a skilled nursing facility or POS 32 for a nursing facility. Medicare uses facility practice expense for POS 31 and non-facility practice expense for POS 32.

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.

99307 billing questions

When should 99307 be chosen instead of 99308?

Choose 99307 for straightforward MDM or at least 10 minutes when selecting by time. Choose 99308 for low MDM or at least 20 minutes when selecting by time; 20 minutes does not prevent selection of 99307 based on straightforward MDM.

Can 99307 be billed for a practitioner's first visit during the admission?

Yes, when that practitioner is not the principal physician of record. Under Medicare, the principal physician of record reports initial nursing facility care; other practitioners report subsequent care for their visits, including a first visit.

Does 99307 apply in assisted living facilities?

No. An established patient visit in assisted living is reported from the home or residence visit series, such as 99347 when its level criteria are met.

What counts toward the 10-minute threshold?

Count qualifying time personally spent by the billing practitioner on the encounter date, including evaluation, chart review, care-related discussions with staff or family, ordering, and documentation. Do not count time spent solely by facility nursing staff.

Can 99307 be billed for work performed as discharge management?

Report nursing facility discharge management with 99315 or 99316, according to time, rather than counting that work as a routine subsequent visit. The practitioner's discharge management visit may occur the day before the patient's actual discharge.

Which place of service code should accompany 99307?

Use POS 31 for care in a skilled nursing facility and POS 32 for care in a nursing facility. Medicare applies facility practice expense at POS 31 and non-facility practice expense at POS 32.

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.
