What 99309 covers

This follow-up visit addresses a resident in a skilled nursing facility or nursing facility. A typical moderate-MDM encounter involves worsening heart failure requiring a diuretic change, or management of two stable chronic conditions with prescription medications. Attending physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants perform these visits during post-acute or long-term care rounds. The visit may include assessing changes in condition, reviewing facility records, discussing care with nursing staff, and updating treatment orders.

Select the level by medical decision making (MDM) or the reporting practitioner's total time on the encounter date. Time-based selection requires at least 30 minutes and can include chart review, discussions with nurses or family, orders, and documentation; exclude staff time and time spent on separately reported services. For MDM-based selection, at least two of three elements must reach the moderate level: problems addressed, data reviewed or ordered, and management risk. Document the clinical changes, treatment decisions, or time supporting the chosen level. Report the correct place of service: skilled nursing facility (POS 31) uses facility practice expense inputs, while nursing facility (POS 32) uses nonfacility inputs.
