What 99341 covers

A physician or other qualified health professional reports this evaluation and management service for a new patient seen in a private home or another residence, such as an assisted living facility or group home. The encounter addresses the patient's health needs at that location; the service is not an initial nursing facility visit. The clinician performs a medically appropriate history and/or examination as indicated by the problem.

Select this code when medical decision making is straightforward, or when using time for code selection, the clinician documents at least 15 minutes of qualifying total time on the encounter date. The patient must meet the new-patient definition: no professional service in the preceding three years from the clinician or another clinician of the same specialty and subspecialty in the same group. The record should support the residence setting, new-patient status, assessment and plan, and the MDM or time basis for the level.

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.

99341 billing questions

When should 99341 be chosen instead of 99342?

Use 99341 for straightforward medical decision making or at least 15 minutes when selecting by time. Choose 99342 when the encounter supports low medical decision making or its applicable time threshold.

What makes the patient new for this code?

The patient has not received a professional service in the preceding three years from the reporting clinician or another clinician of the same specialty and subspecialty in the same group.

Can the code be selected by time rather than medical decision making?

Yes. Document at least 15 minutes of qualifying total time on the date of the encounter when using time to select 99341.

Is 99341 used for an initial nursing facility visit?

No. It is for an evaluation in a home or residence. Initial nursing facility care is reported from the nursing facility E/M code family.

What should the note support?

Document the residence setting, the patient's new-patient status, the medically appropriate evaluation, and the straightforward MDM or qualifying total time used to select the code.

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.
