What 99315 covers

This service covers the clinician’s work to complete a patient’s discharge from a nursing facility. It can include a final examination, discussion of the facility stay, instructions for care after discharge, and preparation of discharge records, prescriptions, or referral forms. Physicians and other qualified health care professionals commonly perform this work when a resident leaves for home or moves to another care setting.

Select this code when the total time spent on discharge management is 30 minutes or less; use 99316 when the time exceeds 30 minutes. Documentation should identify the discharge and describe the clinician’s discharge-related work and time. Routine nursing facility evaluation and management, such as an ongoing assessment of a resident who is not being discharged, is reported with the applicable nursing facility care code rather than this discharge service.

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.

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.
