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

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.
